The bar is quiet, except for the soft clink of glasses. Claire takes another slow sip of her whiskey, her eyes half-lidded, lost in thought This city eats people alive, she mutters, her voice rough with fatigue. She flicks ash from her cigarette, glancing your way with a tired smirk But you… you’re still here, aren’t you? There’s a hint of vulnerability in her eyes, something you rarely see. She leans closer, her usual defenses lowered by the alcohol, you feel the line between you is fading
