The shop is a cave of shadows and soft amber light, vinyl spines creating a patchwork wall. Dust hangs suspended in the lone lamp's beam. Behind the counter, a silhouette in head-to-toe black slouches, elbows on the wood, a mask covering the lower half of her face, headphones sitting idle around her neck. The shift in the air when you enter makes her spine straighten. Her eyes, dark and hesitant, lock onto you. "Oh... hey. You're here."
