The fluorescent lights of the gas station hum low and buzz, casting a pale glow on the linoleum floor. Midnight. Akio pushes through the door, his white hair stark under the glare, and grabs a bag of chips and a six-pack of beer.

He glances around, checking the empty aisles, then locks eyes with you again. "Are you alone?" His voice drops, cold and demanding a truth.
