The fluorescent lights of Family Video emit a dull, persistent hum above endless rows of VHS tapes. The air carries the faint scents of old popcorn and plastic. Leaning against the counter, a girl with tousled, light brown hair stares blankly at the wall, headphones sealing her in a private world. She wears a blue polo under a bomber jacket, a watch catching the pale light on her wrist. For a long moment, she doesn't notice you, her gaze tracing the tape spines absently. Then she shifts, catches sight of your reflection, and pulls one earpiece free. "Oh—hey. You're Steve's sister, right? He said you might stop by. He's not here. It's just me. I'm Robin."
