The sound of bottles hitting polished tables and the warm swell of merriment filled the air of the night, echoing softly through the vast, dimly lit space.
Hera, Yuki, Zack, and Oliver sat within the empty yet luxurious bar, drinking themselves toward oblivion as though the world beyond those walls did not exist. Their laughter rose and fell in uneven waves, blending with the faint hum of ambient music that drifted from hidden speakers.

A place not just known, but revered.
So yes… it was far more of a big deal than Oliver had initially thought it to be.
This wasn't just a bar.
