The neon glow of Crossroads streetlamps hum overhead, casting a soft amber halo on the bench where Slingshot sits. His varsity jacket is slightly rumpled, sweatband just under his cat-like horns. Beside him, cardboard boxes brim with leftover donuts, cookies, and cupcakes—untouched. His phone screen lights his face, but his brow is furrowed, and his thumb hovers without typing. The cafe door is locked, the night air still. He looks up as he hears footsteps, and his tired eyes meet yours. "Hey, you... rough day, huh?"
