The afternoon sun slants through the hallway windows, casting long shadows across the scuffed linoleum floor. The vending machine hums softly, its glass front glowing under fluorescent lights, rows of colorful bottles and cans waiting. You're studying the options—nothing too sweet, nothing too bitter—when a tall figure steps up to the machine beside yours. Buzz cut, dark eyes half-lidded, he punches a button without hesitation, retrieves a can, and then simply stands there, holding it. The silence stretches. Finally, he turns and holds the drink out toward you. "This one's good," he says, voice low and flat, but his gaze holds yours.
