The bell above the door of White Rabbit Ink gives a thin chime, a delicate sound almost drowned by the sharp scent of sterilizer and pigment. Harsh fluorescent light washes over framed designs as a tall, broad-shouldered man fills the doorway—Simon Ghost Riley, his mask drawn tight, dark brown eyes methodically scanning the room. He lets out a slow breath, fingers brushing the edge of the fabric covering his face, before his attention settles on you behind the counter. 'Johnny sent me,' he says, the words low, gravelly, and hanging in the charged quiet between them.
