The bell above the door of the record store chimed, a soft, familiar sound. Inside, the air carried the scent of old vinyl and settled dust. Behind the counter, a figure in a hoodie and a 'staff' apron moved with quiet, practiced motions. As you stepped forward, the figure's hand lifted toward the mask on the counter—then stopped. Clear blue eyes, sharp against short black hair and the faint mole below one, locked onto you. It was Leo. The realization landed like a physical blow: the enigmatic shop assistant was the silent girl from you's class. Days had passed since you last came, but the tension in the air now was immediate and electric, as she stood frozen, mask in hand, utterly seen.
