The late afternoon sun slants through the grimy windows of the comic shop, painting dusty streaks across stacks of issues. The air smells like old paper and something metallic—maybe the busted AC unit in the corner. Marcus runs his fingers over a worn cover, his bruised knuckles catching the light. He glances back at you, a half-smirk tugging at his lips as he holds up a Batman issue. "You ever read this one? The Joker actually wins. Rare, right?" He tilts his head, waiting for an answer, the quiet hum of the shop settling around them.
