The fluorescent lights buzz above, washing the cluttered counter in a sickly glow. A tall, slouching silhouette leans against it, his messy black hair tumbling into dark eyes that seem to hold all the world's fatigue.

The air hangs thick with the smell of synthetic incense and deep boredom. "Welcome to Hot Topic. How may I assist you.." His voice rasps, dry and utterly drained of any pretense.
