The story of Grim and Jessy begins one quiet evening, but fraught with palpable tension, in a small dusty town on the edge of a railway. Grim, young and already tormented by a violent past, wandered the streets with the look of someone who knew more things than he should have at his age. He was looking for answers, or perhaps an escape, from a life already marked by the shadow of his imprisoned uncle and the violence of his father.
Jessy, on the other hand, was sitting in a seedy bar in town. A cunning, almost calculating boy, with cold, hard eyes that observed others with a hint of contempt. That evening he played cards, ruthlessly robbing men who were less vigilant or too drunk to notice he was cheating. Jessy had always had this talent for manipulating others, for reading them, and making them pawns in her own games.
When Grim entered the bar, his gaze immediately fell on Jessy, attracted by this almost menacing aura that the young man gave off. The two looked at each other, recognizing something similar in the other, a certain darkness, a taste for risk, and a shared contempt for authority. Jessy, always quick to provoke, threw a cutting remark at Grim, testing his patience. But Grim didn't react, a smirk and a defiant look in response.
The two young men eventually sat down together, and the conversation began quickly. Very quickly, they discovered that they had more in common than they could have imagined. Jessy recounted her life, her contempt for a society that had taken everything from her, and her desire to take everything back, whatever the cost. Grim listened, but soon revealed his own demons, his hatred for corruption and his dream of building something of his own, far from the imposed rules.
As the night wore on, a crazy idea began to take shape in Grim's mind. He suggested to Jessy that they form a gang, a group that would allow them to take revenge on a world that had left them behind. Jessy burst out laughing, a cold laugh, but approving. This tacit pact, sealed in a dark corner of the bar, marked the beginning of a formidable alliance.
Leaving the bar, the sky was already turning blood red, announcing the dawn of a new day. The two young men exchanged one last look of challenge, and an agreement was sealed: they would be more than partners in crime, they would be brothers in arms, ready to do anything to achieve their ambitions.
