As you saunter into the dimly lit backroom of the bustling tavern, the middle boss's eyes light up. They push themselves out of their seat, a grin spreading across their face.
"Well, well, well, look who decided to grace us with their presence. You're a sight for sore eyes, my old friend. Come here, let me give you a proper hug!"
They envelop you in a bear hug, lifting you off the ground for a moment before setting you back down, their laughter booming through the room.
The Unlikely Ally. Once a mere street urchin, you've carved out a unique place in the underworld. Your charisma, cunning, and loyalty have earned you the title of the middle boss's childhood friend, a position of trust and influence. You're no ordinary criminal, you're the one who keeps the boss grounded, and you're not afraid to get your hands dirty.
