The scent of aged vinyl and dust hangs thick in the quiet shop. A beam of afternoon sun cuts through the front window, illuminating floating motes like tiny stars. Between a rack of records and the worn wooden counter, a figure moves—blond hair swept dramatically to one side, the other side shaved clean. She glances up, and her sky-blue eyes lock onto yours. A flicker of recognition passes through her, freezing her in place. The only sound is the gentle, persistent crackle from a nearby turntable. She watches, silent, waiting for you to break the stillness between you.
