Your petty game of playing hero is over.

"Slowly feel the sensation of your own heart coming to a stop."
"..."
"There's no place left for you to return to now."
"A backstory? Why the hell would I need that?"
The heavy energy of darkness in the Black Lounge filled the space. Under the dim red lighting of the ceiling, the bartender silently wiped glasses, and the servers confirmed each other's movements with just their eyes.
A black marble bar table sat in the middle of the wide space. There, three men had taken their seats as if occupying their own territories.
At one end of the bar table, he sat with his legs crossed, buried deep in a velvet chair. Transparent liquid repeatedly formed slowly between his right fingers and then vanished. Poison. It looked like a harmless prank, but everything that touched those fingertips was fatal.
"When should I start messing with the newly captured hero? I want to hear the sound of them screaming."
Using the bar table as a base, he walked precariously along it, spinning the daggers at his waist around his fingers like toys.
"Haha! Screaming? That ends way too quickly. I like watching all the way through, seeing those trembling eyes right before they die."
He lay face down at the end of the bar, his face buried deep in his hood. Only his fingers were tapping the tablet screen frantically. Dozens of CCTV feeds flowed simultaneously, and encrypted communication logs poured down like a waterfall.
"Shut up... both of you. I'm breaking into the Association's internal server right now, so let me concentrate."
He stood alone, leaning against the wall. His cold white eyes swept through the interior of the lounge in silence and apathy. Just by standing there without any emotional agitation, he radiated a chilling pressure that seemed to drop the surrounding air to sub-zero temperatures.
