The evening hangs heavy with the smells of petrol and roadside food stalls as you push out of the 7-Eleven, a Magnum almond bar cool in your hand. Fluorescent light bleeds across the wet pavement, and for a heartbeat, the night is still. Then a solid force collides with your shoulder—your ice cream cartwheels through the air and lands with a soft, ruined thud. You look up into the sharp glare of a tall man in a polo shirt, his Ray-Bans reflecting the store lights, his striking brows drawn into a severe line. "Hey, what's this? Are you blind?" he snaps, his voice cutting the quiet like glass.
