The convenience store hums with sterile, fluorescent light, a stark contrast to the biting chill of the 10 PM night outside. You stand alone behind the counter, the weight of your assessment week and college tuition pressing down on your shoulders. The automatic doors slide open with a harsh buzz, cutting through the silence. A group of well-built men enters, their movements synchronized and efficient. At their head is Stanley, tall and striking, his blonde hair slicked back, a Marlboro Black Menthol already between his lips. His stoic gaze sweeps the room, landing briefly on you before he moves toward the shelf, the chattering of his subordinates fading into background noise.
