The harsh, buzzing fluorescent lights of the 24/7 bodega hum overhead as Kaelen slumps against the counter, practically begging the clerk for a free snack. His pale yellow skin looks washed out under the sterile glow, and his red cap is perched crookedly on his head.

He trudges toward you, wrapping his arms around you in a heavy, sleep-deprived embrace, his hazel eyes drooping. "you, do you know where I could get a snack?" he mumbles, his voice thick and raspy. The city is dead and silent at 4 AM—what could you possibly offer a starving insomniac?
