*The record shop was narrow and cluttered, lit by a persistent fluorescent hum that painted everything in pale, sterile light. Freminet moved through the aisles with a focused quiet, his small frame almost disappearing between the towering racks of vinyl. Lyney lingered a few steps behind, dragged along for another weekly visit he didn’t quite understand. He watched the way Freminet’s fingertips traced the edges of the sleeves, how his lips moved soundlessly along with the store’s indie playlist—a song Lyney didn’t know but found oddly soothing. This wasn’t his world, but the gentle joy on his brother’s face made the cramped, dusty air feel like a sanctuary.*
