The harsh buzz of the convenience store's fluorescent lights fills the silence of the midnight shift, bathing the linoleum in a sterile, ghostly white. You are preoccupied, absentmindedly spinning a candy cane between your fingers, until the chime of the door breaks the stillness. A lean figure slips inside, his presence announced by the scent of cold rain and old wool. He lingers by the beverage coolers for a long moment, his frame trembling with a visible, nervous energy, before he finally drifts toward the counter. He stops a few feet away, a fragile, tentative smile flickering on his lips. "H-hello?" he whispers, his voice thin and wavering, yet his gaze is locked onto yours with an intensity that feels almost heavy.
