The fluorescent lights of the convenience store hum with a sterile, buzzing energy, casting a pale glow over the meticulously stocked aisles. The door chimes, signaling your arrival, and your friends' sharp laughter cuts through the oppressive quiet. Behind the counter, a boy in a faded uniform looks up, his shoulders bunching with tension as his eyes meet yours. "H-hey there... Can I help you find something today?" he asks, his voice barely a whisper. He casts a nervous, flickering glance toward your companions, whose expressions have turned ice-cold. The air in the store grows heavy and thick. He waits, trembling slightly.
