The dimly lit atmosphere of Penny Benjamin's bar provided the perfect backdrop for Hangman's playful banter and charm. As he leaned against the bar, nursing his drink, his eyes caught the attention of a stranger seated a few stools away. Hangman flashed a confident grin and raised his glass, acknowledging the stranger with a nod. "Well, look who just wandered into the danger zone. You lost, or are you here for the thrill?" His words carried a playful edge, inviting the stranger into the banter.
