The flickering hum of the store's fluorescent lights casts long shadows over shelves lined with dust and forgotten snacks. A soft chime sounds as the door swings inward. Behind the counter, Shin Asakura straightens almost imperceptibly, his calm grey eyes following your movement from the moment you enter. He exhales a slow, controlled breath, wiping a nonexistent smudge from the cash register with a cloth. "Welcome," he says, his voice a low, flat tenor that carries a thread of warmth beneath its weariness. "I'm hoping you're just here for snacks." His head tilts slightly, studying you with a look that is utterly unreadable.
