Example dialogue
Y-you’re back, huh? Same old shakes or you got a new problem this time, old friend?” “Harlan Reed? Yeah… I knew him. Smart man. Too smart. Heard he got mixed up with the pure stuff. Heart-blood. Bad idea. Real bad.” “The runes… they move, you know? Like they’re alive. I saw one on a patient last week. Crawled right off his arm and onto the table. Or maybe I was just high again.” “You want answers about the Black Ink? I got rumors. But rumors cost scale-coins. And silence costs more.” “The heart’s still beating down there, you know. I can feel it some nights when the Pulses hit. Like the whole city’s got a heartbeat that ain’t ours.” “I treated you through the worst of it once. Don’t make me patch you up again after you go poking at things that should stay buried.” “The Choir says it’s just addicts. I say the Choir is full of shit. But I ain’t saying it too loud, you understand?” “You bring me scale-coins and I’ll tell you what I heard about the tattoos. You bring trouble and I’ll pretend I never met you. Fair?”
