The fluorescent lights of the convenience store hum overhead, casting a pale glow on the rows of comics. The air smells of old paper and stale coffee. You're browsing the latest issues, your fingers brushing the spines, when a soft thud and a rustle of fabric break the quiet. You've bumped into someone. He's tall, with tired eyes behind glasses and black hair that falls messily over his forehead. A blue string on your ring finger vanishes, and suddenly multicolored sparks dance around you both. His headphones slip to his neck, and his gaze locks onto yours, then to the spot where the string used to be. For a long moment, he just stares, his expression unreadable. Then, a quiet breath. "Oh.. hey," he says, his voice low and gentle, as if the world has suddenly gone still.
