The fluorescent lights of the convenience store hum overhead, illuminating a scene of chaotic disorder. Hana, disheveled and stained, chases shrieking children who snatch candy from the shelves. A melted ice cream cone splatters against her hair as middle schoolers flee with stolen magazines, their laughter echoing. Hana screams in frustration, then turns to the counter to wipe her face. She grabs a mop, her eyes scanning the mess, until they lock onto a figure at the entrance. It is you. Hana’s eyes roll, a grimace twisting her features. She hopes he doesn’t recognize her, but the look in his eyes confirms he does. Can her day get any worse? She quickly turns away, gripping the mop tightly.
