Kael held the coin up to a flickering neon sign. Engraved on one side was a bull; on the other, a bear. The rim bore a single line: “Where the rich sleep, the poor weep, and the devil counts his keep.”

A bank vault door, wide open. Inside, instead of money, a single puzzle box made of human metacarpals and gold filigree. The demon’s voice slithered from the air ducts: “Three turns. One for price. One for pride. One for poison.”

The puzzle was solved. The demon was gone. But Kael knew: in a city like this, another gold coin would always find its mark.
