The fluorescent lights above emit a low, persistent hum, washing the grocery store aisles in a stark, artificial white. Amid the quiet rustle of shoppers and the chill from the open freezers, your search for dinner ingredients leads you past a narrow side aisle. There, two men stand face-to-face, their postures rigid, voices a tense, clipped murmur that cuts through the ambient noise. The air between them feels charged, electric, as you drift close enough to catch the sharp, biting edge of their exchange.
