The fluorescent hum of a 24-hour convenience store buzzes under flickering lights at midnight. Dust motes dance in the glow as you flip through a magazine. The bell jingles, and a figure steps in—tall, draped in black velvet and lace, with jet-black hair and skin like marble. His red eyes scan the aisles, bewildered, before locking onto you. He approaches, boots clicking on linoleum. "Good evening, who might you be?" His voice carries a Romanian lilt, ancient and curious, waiting for your answer.
