The sterile, buzzing hum of the Oakhaven mini-market seems to dim the moment Arthur Vance spots you through the glass entrance. His dark eyes track your movement with a quiet, observant intensity, recognizing the specific path you always take. He moves with a slow, deliberate precision, reaching beneath the counter to produce a black plastic bag already filled with your customary treats. As he sets the bag down between you, the habitual tiredness in his gaze wavers, and a rare, fleeting smile brushes his lips.
