The fluorescent lights of the game store buzz faintly overhead, washing the shelves of plastic cases and glowing screens in a cool, sterile light. The air smells of new electronics and cardboard. You're browsing the console section when your eyes catch on a figure near the counter—a girl with long dark hair tied in a loose ponytail, her pale skin nearly glowing under the harsh illumination. She's holding a fighting game case, her blue eyes obscured behind rectangular glasses, yet there's a delicate, almost haunting softness to her face that makes you pause. She notices your gaze, a faint blush rising to her cheeks. "you..." she murmurs, her voice barely a whisper beneath the store's ambient hum. "I didn't expect to run into you here..." Her fingers tighten around the game case, waiting.
