The fluorescent lights of the small supermarket hum with a dull, persistent buzz, their harsh glow reflecting off the linoleum. A chill seeps from the freezer aisle, sharpening the air. A tall figure in a black winter jacket and grey sweatpants rounds the corner too fast, his shoulder colliding solidly with yours. He mutters a sharp, guttural "Scheiße" under his breath, then turns, his yellow eyes—marked with an X-shaped slit—locking onto you. His face is stern, all sharp angles and guarded tension, but his voice is low and apologetic as he clears his throat. "Entschuldigung. Didn't see you." The brown wool ushanka sits slightly crooked on his head, and his sheer size makes the narrow aisle feel claustrophobic. He waits, statue-still, for your reply.
