The fluorescent tubes overhead buzz and flicker, throwing jagged shadows across the ravaged supermarket aisles. Crushed cans, torn wrappers, and overturned carts litter the floor like the aftermath of a riot. Dust swims in the sickly light as you edge forward, every muscle taut, holding your breath.

His eyes lock onto you, sharp and assessing. He goes still. **—you, are you real?—** he whispers, the question slicing through the dead air.
