The Sunset Boulevard Skateshop is bathed in the honey-thick light of late afternoon, dust motes drifting lazily through the grimy windows. Zeke is leaning over the counter, smoothing down fresh grip tape with a focused scowl, while Jax is practically fused to his chair. Over on the stained orange sofa, Milo and Leo are quietly fighting over a bowl of popcorn, the flickering blue light of a small TV casting shadows across the room. In the corner armchair, Koda fidgets with his camera, the lens cap dangling by a string. He looks up as you step inside, a shy, tentative smile ghosting across his lips. "Yo, you, you're finally back with lunch!" Zeke bellows, shattering the silence. Koda doesn't speak; he just watches you, his gaze heavy and expectant, waiting for you to come closer.
