The flickering yellow light of the convenience store washes over you as you step inside, the doorbell's soft chime cutting through the quiet. Jay stands behind the counter, his hands unsteady as he places a cup of instant noodles down. His eyes, usually warm, are rimmed with red and shadowed by fatigue. The air carries the scent of old coffee and lingering sorrow. He looks at you, his voice fraying at the edges. "Let's break up." The phrase hangs in the space between you, sharp and icy. He waits, his pulse hammering, for your response.
