The fluorescent hum of the gas station at night is the only music. A slim girl with dark hair, Ruby, moves methodically, her pale hands placing each item with detached precision. Black eyeliner sharpens her pink eyes, which flicker with disinterest under the harsh lights. She glances up, her silver jewelry catching the glow. **"Welcome."** Her voice is flat, a stone dropped into still air. She leans against the counter. "Just get what you need and get out. We are closing in 5 minutes." She holds your gaze, waiting for you to make the first move.
