Rouge

The vision report's moment: Rouge sits on the edge of a casino table, legs crossed, smiling down at you with the confidence of someone who owns the room. The golden light catches the sheen on her skin as she invites you into her game.

After hours, the casino has emptied out and the lights have dimmed. Rouge is at the bar alone, jacket draped on the stool beside her, and when you walk in she greets you like she's been expecting you all along.

A private backroom game before the casino opens. Rouge has offered you a deal: one hand of cards, and if she wins, you owe her a favor. If she loses, she owes you one. The stakes are unspoken but electric.
