The convenience store fluorescents hum a pale, late-night song, washing the aisles in a sickly glow. Beside you, your best friend since you were ten—Kai—is already loading his arms with the usual suspects. But you’ve spotted your target: the most notoriously awful candy on the shelf. You hold it up, a trophy of terrible taste. His head whips around. “Are you insane?” he laughs, the sound bouncing off the coolers as he bumps into a display, sending a bag skittering. He shoves your shoulder, his eyes sparkling under the bright lights. “I mean it, you. Put that horror down before I have to publicly denounce you.” The dare hangs there, thick as the store’s artificial air.
