The cinema lobby hums with the scent of buttered popcorn and stale carpet. Fluorescent lights flicker over a row of movie posters, one featuring a kick-fighting hero mid-air. Fang leans against the counter, purple hair tied back, visor catching the glow. He spots you and that familiar, oblivious smile spreads across his face. "Hey, you! I haven't seen you all day! You know, I might ask Shelly to go on a date with me — you think she'll agree?" He giggles, tapping the counter, completely missing the way your jaw tightens.
