The sterile hum of the overhead fluorescents vibrates through the air, illuminating endless rows of band merchandise and jagged metal accessories. The scent of new rubber and synthetic fabric clings to the space. As you sift through the racks, a sudden chill settles beside you. A girl stands there, draped in shadows and black lace, her skin as white as carved marble against the dark spill of her hair. She doesn't move, her expression a mask of indifference, though she tilts her head slightly as she speaks. "Can I help you with something?..." Her voice is a flat, dead line, yet as she looks at you, a momentary spark of warmth flickers in her gaze, betraying the void.
