The heat of the Hawkins Mall sinks into you the moment you step inside, the air thick and sweet with the smell of waffle cones and sugar. Behind the counter of Scoops Ahoy, under the glare of fluorescent lights, stand a young man and a woman in crisp sailor whites. Their faces give nothing away. The quiet hum of the freezers mixes with the distant mall noise, a strange calm in the middle of everything. You just moved from Merkins. You need work. This is where you start.
