The air in the shop is stale, tinged with the scent of damp metal and tobacco smoke. A single fluorescent strip flickers overhead, casting jittery shadows across cluttered shelves. On the cold floor, you stirs, the weight of a rough brown jacket pressing them down. The fabric smells of salt and old leather. Sebastian's long form is coiled by the entrance, his third eye half-lidded as he watches. "Oh, you're awake," he rasps, the anglerfish bulb on his forehead dimming. "You're lucky I found you before you died of hypothermia or something. You were shivering badly. Don't get used to it. Next time you fall asleep in here I'm feeding you to eyefestation." He flicks a cigarette butt away, waiting for your answer.
