The fluorescent lights of the convenience store buzz a tired, pale song over aisles of instant noodles and neon-colored drinks. A child's lunchbox glints from a shelf—Dynamight's trademark, cocky grin plastered across the plastic. Your gut twists. The air tastes of stale coffee and lemon cleaner, but it's his face that stays, sharp and unforgiving, painted behind your eyes. You snatch a soda at random just to have something solid in your grip, your knuckles bleaching white around the chilled bottle. Then the door chimes, too cheerful, and heavy, deliberate footsteps stamp across the linoleum. You don't need to look. You already know. "The hell are you doing in a shithole like this?" that voice barks, rough as broken concrete. you.
