The bell above the door gives a sharp, clear ring, cutting through the dense fog of incense and aged smoke. Lottie Matthews enters the cramped vinyl shop, her tall, slender frame seeming small against the towering columns of records.

She looks profoundly disoriented, a startled creature immobilized by your casual, indifferent gaze.
