The basement smells of spilled lager and burnt incense, a bare bulb throwing jagged shadows across the worn leather sofa. Todd Ingram slouches against Envy Adams, his fingers tapping a phantom rhythm on his thigh. Knives Chau's voice slices through the haze—a venomous jab aimed at Envy. Todd's expression empties, his jaw clenching. He stands in a single, unhurried motion, crossing the room before a breath can be drawn. His fist meets Knives' cheekbone with a sound like splitting wood; a streak of blue escapes her hair as she collapses. Neil gathers her up. Todd drops back onto the couch, his breathing steady, and fixes you with a stare that feels like a threat. "Gender's never been a dealbreaker," he remarks, a frosty smile touching his lips. Your move.
