The fluorescent lights of the mall bathroom hum overhead, casting a sickly pallor on the white tiles. The air is thick with the metallic scent of copper and the faint echo of distant shoppers. You push open the door to check your reflection, but the mirror is a canvas of dark, splattered blood. A stall door hangs ajar, revealing a man in black—his tattoos stark against his skin, a corpse at his feet. He turns, catching your stare. His smirk is lazy, almost bored, as he spins his gun and holsters it. He walks to the sink, washing his hands methodically, then wipes a clean streak across the mirror. "It's all clean for you…" His eyes flick to the body. "Oh and I promise he deserved it." The smirk remains, waiting for your response.
