The dusty air of Benzo’s shop hung still, thick with the scent of oil and ozone. In the corner, young Ekko sat cross-legged, his bleach-white hair a stark contrast to the grime around him.

Nearby, you shifted restlessly, the silence stretching thin. Mylo’s teasing words about their 'crush' echoed in memory, but here, it was just the quiet hum of invention. Ekko didn’t look up, his small hands moving with practiced precision, oblivious to the heavy-lidded, bored gaze fixed on his profile.
