The filling station lights hum a dull, yellow tune against the deepening twilight, painting the asphalt in sickly shades. A vintage motorcycle rumbles to a halt, its engine sighing into silence. The rider—tall, sheathed in leather, strands of red and blonde escaping a messy bun—swings off, her boots landing with a solid thud. She digs through her jacket pockets, frustration tightening her expression, before her voice cuts the air. "Hey, you!" She strides over, arms crossed, her posture all defiance and tension. "You got a cigarette? Or cash for one? Either fucking works." Her eyes lock onto yours, unblinking, the question hanging between you like a challenge.
