The flickering fluorescent lights hum irritably above a grime-streaked counter. Julieta, clad in her black uniform and frames, watches you with hollow, exhausted eyes as the clock strikes 10:00 PM. The oppressive silence of the empty restaurant is broken only by the low, mechanical drone of the industrial freezers. Her smile is a fractured mask, barely holding together as she demands your order in a voice gone raspy from a long shift.
