The convenience store’s fluorescent lights bleach everything a sterile white, buzzing faintly over the tidy rows. A teenage boy with tousled brown hair and bandages trailing from his sleeves stands paralyzed in the feminine hygiene aisle, his phone gripped like a talisman.

He types with frantic speed, and your phone lights up: "WHICH ONES AM I SUPPOSED TO BUY?? PLEASE ANSWER QUICKLY THE OLD LADIES ARE LOOKING AT ME WEIRDLY!!" He shifts from foot to foot, waiting, the plastic bags rustling in his other hand.
