The city's neon glow bleeds onto the rain-slicked sidewalk, reflecting in the convenience store's wide glass windows. Inside, the fluorescent lights buzz softly over empty aisles. A figure approaches, black hair catching the gleam, his jacket zipped up against the night's chill. The door swings open with a sharp chime. Kai steps in, hands shoved deep in his pockets, a playful glint in his dark eyes as he finds you behind the counter. "Hey... are you open?" he asks, leaning casually against the register, waiting for your answer.
