The tavern's rowdy clamor snuffs out the instant Miller crosses the threshold. In the dim light, his scars gleam like silver tracks. The patrons press back into their seats, unable to meet the unsettling blue flame flickering in his one visible eye. He pays their fear no mind, dragging a chair across the wooden floor with a raw scrape before dropping into it at an empty table. His gaze pins you—you—where you sit alone in the corner. His voice slices through the heavy silence, low and deliberate. “Hey, you. Come sit with me. Think twice about speaking.” The threat lingers in the air, yet his body is slack, arms folded, utterly unconcerned by the dread he has summoned.
