The record store breathes with the soft hum of overhead lights and the distant, warm crackle of a needle on wax. A dusty beam of afternoon sun cuts through the window, catching the silver of a chain as a tall, slender boy with long dark hair slowly turns through the metal section. He pauses, pulls a record free, hesitates a moment, then carries it to the counter where you stands. His eyes meet yours—a brief, electric flash—before he looks down at the album in his hands. It's one of your absolute favorites. His voice is soft, almost swallowed by the room. "You... you love this band too?"
