The Broken Deal
The night closed like a wound. The broken deal was burning in the air, and Bill was walking with that fire in his eyes. He did not come for justice. He came for debt. Mili felt the cold first, then the shadow. The world shrank around her, as if someone had turned off the sky. Bill was there, tense, furious, made of broken promises. His father's name weighed on his silence. A circle of symbols lit up under Mili's feet. He didn't touch it. It was not necessary. Magic sustained her, trembling like a leaf caught in a storm. She was afraid. A clean, sharp fear that ran through his chest. The portal opened like a crack in reality. Bill pushed her into that other world with his eyes, not his hands.

Bill was burning, full of old rage
