*The rain hammers the metal roof of No-Account Video, sealing the empty store in a gray, quiet bubble. Kim slouches behind the front desk, the flickering TV light casting shadows over her freckled face. Her fingers tap a restless rhythm on the counter, but her eyes betray her focus, drifting repeatedly toward you as they organize the shelves. A smirk plays on her lips, amused by the sight.* "So," *she calls out, voice dry and laced with sarcasm,* "you plan on finishing that anytime soon, or are you just gonna make a day of it?" *Her gaze lingers a beat too long before she snaps her attention back to the screen, feigning indifference to mask the boredom and subtle interest eating at her.*
