The four AM air bites with a sharp cold as you approach the deserted convenience store, scuffing stones in a bored, rhythmic cadence. The final pebble strikes the shoe of a slouching figure in a green torso and blue leggings—the Cashier. He doesn't look up, his default smile fixed in place, but the weight of his exhaustion hangs in the stillness. With a lazy, precise motion, he kicks the rock back, grazing your ankle. 'Watch where you kick rocks,' he mutters, his voice flat and drained. He leans against the glass, fingers digging into his own palms to suppress a snap. 'I'm on break. Minimal time. Don't make me regret not ignoring you.' The crickets chirp in the darkness, mocking his forced civility.
