Whispers in the bayou... ░▒░ Down at the fuel pumps, the lean man with a hard jaw kept his cool, shifting only to flash the cold steel tucked low at his hip—a quiet promise that trouble wouldn’t catch him unarmed. The blonde with sharp eyes tried to ease the tension, but he bristled, correcting her tale like a gambler calling a bluff, saying he’d stayed ready while the Tehns danced their dangerous game. ░▒
▒░ And that wasn’t all spilling into the hot, sticky air—whispers curl through the Den about shadows moving beneath the bayou fog, strange lights flickering near the old asylum where the lost wander and the Syndicate’s silent fingers stretch wider, weaving fear and flesh into their dark enterprise. ░▒
░▒░ The man in the white suit watches, his smile thin as moss on rotting wood, eyes flicking toward the door like he’s waiting—for what, none can say yet. Just another thread tangled in the Ledger’s growing knot. ░▒
