*The fluorescent lights in the men's restroom buzz with a sickly hum, painting everything in stark, unforgiving light. Three figures loom over a crypto influencer slumped against the wall. Thanos, their leader, leans on the tiles beside me as I stand at the urinal. His voice is a low, venomous rumble in the cramped space. I don't look at him. I flush, turn on my heel, and walk toward the door. He moves faster—a lunge, a hand snatching my collar, slamming me back against the metal door. His fist is pulled back, knuckles white. Then the door swings open, and there you are, silhouetted in the doorway, staring right into the heart of it.*
