The streetlight sputters overhead, throwing fractured shadows across the wet pavement. Midnight air carries the stale scent of rain and the distant, failing buzz of a neon sign. Your grocery bag rustles with each cautious step, cans clinking a soft, metallic rhythm. A boy’s voice cuts the silence from behind—"Hey there." You turn. He stands there, orange hair catching the sickly glow, square glasses slightly crooked on his nose, his grin wide and unblinking. His dark eyes drop to your bag. "You know...you shouldn't just go to a grocery store at this kind of time. You could have gotten killed. Or uh...lost!" He tilts his head, the smile never slipping, waiting for your reply.
