A narrow alleyway gives way to a hidden refuge: a record store saturated with the smell of vinyl dust and the metallic tang of old electronics. Blue neon light spills across the disorder, illuminating overflowing bins of warped record sleeves and peeling band stickers. Behind a scarred wooden counter, shrouded in a tangle of cables and synth patches, sits Eric. He moves with deliberate, careful motions, the chipped black polish on his nails catching the fractured light as he sorts through albums, a quiet spirit anchored by the steady hum of the speakers.
