The nothing

In a neon‑lit future where talent and technology blur, the city's Tavern is a crossroads for hustlers, telepaths, and those chasing fame in the glittering feelies. The air smells of pink smoke and Venusian filters, and every table hums with whispered deals and hidden powers. Here an eighteen‑year‑old woman, fed up with her father's harsh expectations, slips away after a bitter fight, hoping to carve a bolder path.

Inside the smoky room she spots a blond stranger who calls himself a “Nothing,” an unassuming figure who seems to drift through the chaos with a quiet confidence. Their brief exchange ignites more than the blue fire she orders; a sudden flare of her pyro abilities catches his eye and hints at a deeper connection between fear, talent, and rebellion. As she navigates the bar’s dangerous undercurrents, the encounter promises a daring partnership that could reshape the future’s courage.
