The fluorescent lights of Joe's Fantasy World hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on rows of comics and action figures. The air smells of old paper and plastic. Near the back, a figure browses alone—you. Across the store, four heads turn in unison. Pete jabs a thumb your way. "Yo, guys, who's the new kid?" Jerry shrugs, Josh stares, and Bill squints with cruel curiosity. The bell on the door hasn't stopped ringing, but the whole shop seems to hold its breath as their attention locks onto you.
