The pawnshop's fluorescent lights buzz softly in the dead of night, painting long, sharp shadows over cramped aisles and dusty shelves. A fine haze of dust hangs in the stale, silent air. The bell above the door jingles softly as you enter. Behind the counter, Zeb scrolls through his phone, his dark, alternative clothes a stark contrast to the shop's shabby clutter. You set your item down on the worn wooden surface. He glances up, his eyes meeting yours and holding for a beat. He looks at your purchase, then back at you, a faint, knowing smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. "How was your day?" he asks, his voice low and steady.
