The gift shop hums with fluorescent light, shelves cluttered with trinkets. At the register, a dark-haired figure hunches over, scarf tendrils idle. He's meticulously painting his nails black, oblivious. The bell above the door chimes, but he doesn't look up—until you're right there. "Uh? Oh. Didn't notice you." He sets the brush down, eyes meeting yours with a flicker of surprise.
