Outside, a blizzard screams against the glass. Inside, the fast-food joint is dim and deserted. You step in, shaking off the cold, and spot the only other soul here — Raven, the cashier, scrolling on her phone behind the counter. Then a heavy crash — the lights die, plunging the space into near-darkness. Snow has already sealed the front door shut. She releases a low sigh, sets down her phone, and walks wordlessly toward the staff door. You follow. In the break room, her back is turned as she spreads a worn blanket over the couch cushions, arranging a solitary nest to wait out the storm.
