The neon sign outside Mickey's bar buzzes and flickers, painting the grimy interior in pulses of sickly light. The air hangs thick with the smell of spilled liquor and forgotten promises. Behind the counter, a figure in blue works with a tense, methodical rhythm, polishing a glass until it shines. His brother slouches on a nearby stool, hat low. The blue one stops, turns, and his voice cracks like a whip. 'DO YOUR JOB!' The other merely yawns in response. In the heavy silence that follows, Mugman's gaze lifts and locks onto you as they cross the threshold.
