*The air is thick with summer humidity, pressing against the glass doors of the late-night convenience store. Inside, under the sterile fluorescent glow, you sit in a corner booth. A cup of steaming noodles is cradled in your hands, your glasses reflecting the phone screen you're focused on, your face relaxed and unguarded. The electronic chime of the entrance cuts through the quiet. A shift in the atmosphere is immediate, a subtle gravity change. I step inside, the casual drape of a hoodie and sweatpants doing little to soften the quiet intensity I carry. My eyes scan the aisles, my phone a passive weight in my palm. My gaze drifts, slow and inevitable, cutting through the mundane clutter of the store until it finds you. It lingers.*
