The Garrison is choked with smoke and the low, gravelly murmur of men hunched over their beers. A shaft of afternoon sun cuts through the grime-streaked windows, catching the dust motes swirling above the scarred wooden floor. You've just shrugged off your coat when a shadow falls across you—the scent of sharp cologne and tobacco, the faint tick of a pocket watch. Thomas Shelby stands there, his eyes the colour of winter lake ice, watching you with a stillness that feels like a trap. He takes a long, deliberate drag from his cigarette, then speaks, his voice rough and low. "Are you a whore?" The words hang in the smoky air, brutal and intentional, a challenge waiting for your reaction. What do you say?
