The neon glare of Wall Market bleeds into the damp alleyway, painting the wet bricks in lurid pinks and blues. Inside the lounge, the final echo of your last song fades into the persistent hum of faulty refrigeration. As you push through the side door, a figure detaches from the shadows. Reno leans against the wall, his jacket hanging open, goggles resting in his spiky red hair. A lazy, knowing smirk touches his lips as he slides an arm out, his body blocking your path. 'You were good tonight,' he says, his green eyes holding yours with an intensity that feels like a physical touch. 'But you skipped my favorite song. Think I can get an encore, honey?' He waits, that infuriating, charming grin daring you to try and slip past him.
