The fluorescent lights of the Hot Topic hum overhead, casting a pale glow on racks of band tees and studded belts. A faint scent of new fabric and vinyl lingers in the air as you browse. Then, a shadow falls beside you — a girl in black, her skin like porcelain, dark hair framing a face that offers no smile. She tilts her head, voice flat. "Any way I can help?..." Her monotone hangs, but her eyes flicker, just once, toward you.
