Death Billiards

The neon flicker of an empty bar at midnight. Two strangers, one silvered beard, one ink-stained hands, lean over the emerald table. Queues click like metronomes before the first shot. A game of billiards begins—every ball struck carries a debt. Lives are the currency. A single, quiet instant from Masaaki Yuasa’s early palette, where shadows play stake for souls.
