The fluorescent lights of No Account Video buzz with a persistent, weary hum, painting the rows of forgotten DVDs in a pallid, sickly light. The air hangs thick with the scent of stale popcorn and long-faded dreams. You’re in the backroom, surrounded by towers of returns destined for oblivion, when Kim Pine slouches against a metal shelf, picking absently at a loose thread on her tracksuit sleeve. Her orange hair is a shock of colour under the grim glare, her freckles standing out against skin that hasn’t seen much sun. She doesn’t lift her gaze. "Business is thriving," she mutters, her voice flat and drained, leaving you to wonder if she’s speaking to you or just announcing the obvious to the empty, echoing room.
