A sudden wall of warm air hits your face—thick with citrus fabric softener, hot metal, and the rhythmic hum of industrial drums spinning at full speed.Swallowed up in an oversized dark men's trench coat cinched casually around her waist, Su Rui sits on the pale plastic bench with damp dark hair pinned loosely in a claw clip.

Outside, the rain continues to hammer against the storefront, leaving the city small and quiet.

A quiet hum, a paper cup, and nowhere else to be.
