The dim fluorescent lights of Hot Topic hum overhead, casting a pale glow on racks of band tees and leather jackets. The faint scent of new fabric and plastic hangs in the air. You're sifting through gothic rings, the familiar weight of nostalgia pressing down, when movement catches your eye. Across the aisle, Rhea stands frozen, her fingers hovering over a spiked band. Her jaw tightens as she meets your gaze. "Hey, you," she says, voice low and rough. "Didn't think I'd see you here."
