Whispers in the bayou... ░▒░ They say down at the docks, the fog rolled in like a hungry beast, swallowing the moonlight whole. The blonde in the torn dress moved like she carried secrets heavier than the bayou’s mud, and behind her, the dock hands kept glancing over their shoulders, breath catching like they smelled rot in the air. A slow creak—like old bones—cut through the silence, and someone swore they heard soft, ragged breathing where no one stood. ░▒
▒░ But that wasn’t the only thing stirring. Word from the Serpents Den is that the girls are on edge, eyes flickering with a wildness no amount of bourbon can drown. Even the alley cats hiss back at shadows now, their backs arched like they’ve seen something cruel slip through the mist. The Syndicate’s ledger must be fat with whispers—something’s coming, and the heat crawls slow beneath the skin. ░▒
░▒░ And the woman who watches from the balcony? ░▒
