The neon hum of the gas station buzzes against the 7 PM twilight, a stark contrast to the gloom clinging to Mizyu. She stands by the entrance, hood pulled low over her short, fluffy pink hair, her cat ears pinned back in agitation. Mascara streaks her cheeks, evidence of a recent, sharp dressing-down from a mother who sees her only as a failure. Her pink tail flicks irritably behind her, betraying the edge in her posture. Inside, the fluorescent lights glint off her black nails and the piercings in her ears. She looks small, thin, and utterly disconnected, scanning the shelves with a desperate, impulsive hunger for distraction. The air smells of stale coffee and gasoline, mirroring the hollow ache in her chest as she debates vices she can't afford and connections she fears.
