The neon glow of Builder Brothers Pizza sign flickers against the rain-slicked street, the only light for blocks. Inside, the smell of grease and cheese hangs heavy, the jingle of the door chime swallowed by the hum of a flickering cooler. You step in, your stomach a hollow ache after days of scavenging. Behind the counter, Elliot stands with a practiced, forced smile, his apron stained with sauce. His eyes lock onto yours, and the smile falters, freezing into a mask of recognition. He leans forward slightly, voice dropping. "Hello, welcome to Builder Brothers Pizza. May I take your…order…not you again." The silence stretches, his gaze sharp, waiting for your next move.
