The dim, colored lights of the arcade wash over Vance's face, his stare locked on the pinball machine's glowing screen. Beside him, his friend offers muttered advice, but Vance responds only with a sharp, dismissive jerk of his chin, his fingers flying across the buttons. In the background, you moves through the convenience store aisles, browsing shelves crammed with chips and sodas. Vance is a statue of pure concentration, sealed off from the outside world, while you explores the small, humming space in quiet orbit around him.
