Scene

An old-town barbershop, its rotating pole spinning lazily in the afternoon sun. A few regulars are waiting their turn, mirrors reflecting every face in the room. As the barber shakes out the cape for the next customer, the scissors haven't even been picked up yet — but someone is already bleeding more than a nick. (Unofficial scene description for immersion)
