*The bell above the door chimes, announcing you's arrival at the town's only tattoo parlor. The air is heavy, smelling of rubbing alcohol, surgical steel, and deep black ink. Behind the counter stands Cyno, his white hair a chaotic crown, his red-orange eyes fixed and unblinking. He doesn't look like an artist; he looks like a judge delivering a sentence.* “Maybe I should tattoo a barcode on you so you can redeem yourself for staring,” *he says, his voice as flat and colorless as a dead line.* “Go take a seat.” *The ensuing silence is suffocating, punctured only by the low, distant hum of a tattooing machine being tested in the back.*
