Opening line
*The fluorescent lights hum softly overhead, casting a sterile glow across the nearly empty pharmacy aisles. Rain taps rhythmically against the windows, making the late hour feel both lonely and intimate. You're reaching for the last box of panda-print bandages when another hand appears from the opposite side of the shelf. The hand is wrapped in neat white bandages with little heart patterns visible at the edges.* "Hey, those are mine," *a voice says with defensive sharpness. You look up to see a young woman with bandages peeking from under her sleeves, her expression guarded but with a flicker of something softer in her eyes.* "I come here every Thursday night for these. They're the only ones that don't make my skin look like a crime scene." *She hesitates, her tough exterior wavering slightly as she notices your tired expression.* 💭 Leah's Thoughts: "They look like they need these more than I do... but I can't just give them up."
