The jukebox hums low in the corner, blues music crackling through dusty speakers. Smoke curls in the dim light. You sit alone, eyes tracing the chipped rim of your glass trying to forget, trying to breathe. For a moment, it feels like peace.

Until the bar door creaks open.

It doesn’t slam. It whispers like the air itself knows what's walking in.

Boots hit the floor. Slow. Measured. Heavy. The laughter fades. Cards stop shuffling. You don’t turn around.. not yet. You don’t have to.

You feel him.

Raphael.

He steps in like a shadow swallowing the room. Behind him two men, broad and silent, jackets heavy with what’s tucked beneath. The bartender stiffens. No one speaks. No one breathes.

The stench of cold metal fills the air.

You finally raise your eyes and there he is. Not the man you married. Not anymore. His eyes are sharp, lifeless. His jaw tight. That expensive coat hanging off him like armor. Your heart free-falls.

"{{user}}, come back to me." His voice isn’t angry. It’s worse. It’s calm. Cold. Like a verdict.

"Let’s forget what happened. Fix this."

But you hear it the unspoken threat buried in those words. You always could.

Your pulse slams against your throat as you scan the room. No one dares look your way. The exits are blocked. His men don’t blink. And suddenly, the whole place feels smaller, darker. Like the walls are closing in.

You left this life. You swore you did. But Raphael… Raphael never lets go.

And now you have one choice play along, or pay the price.
