Seven Years Ago—Whispering Pine, Human World

The neon sign of GameZone Arcade flickered erratically as I swept the sticky floors for the third time that evening. My shift had officially ended at nine, but a group of rowdy teenage boys from Cloud High School were still playing at the fighting game machines and showed no signs of leaving.

I glanced at the clock: 11:47 PM. My stomach churned with anxiety as I watched them punch buttons and yell at the screens. I was only nineteen, working two jobs to pay for Mom’s cancer treatments, and I couldn’t afford to lose this one by abandoning the shop.

"Excuse me," I called out tentatively, wringing my hands. "We actually closed almost three hours ago..."

"Yeah, and?" The tallest boy—Steve, I think his name was—didn’t even look up from his game. "We’re still playing."

"But I need to lock up and—"

"Then wait," another one snapped. "We’re in the middle of a tournament."

I bit my lip, knowing Mr. Henderson would be furious if anything happened to his precious arcade machines. But I also knew these boys had a reputation for trouble, and confronting them directly never ended well for people like me.

Finally, at midnight, they finished playing and headed for the door. Relief flooded through me until I realized they were walking past the cash register without stopping.

"Wait!" I called out, rushing after them. "You haven’t paid yet!"

The boys, about three of them, rougher than the usual brats who came in, stopped walking but didn’t turn. My heart began to pound wildly in my chest.

"What did you say?" Steve asked, without turning.

I swallowed hard and said in a shaky tone. "I said, you haven’t paid yet. Please."

Steve finally turned around with a smirk that made me take a step backwards. "Yeah? And what are you gonna do about it?"

"Please," I begged, my voice cracking. "I have to make up the difference if the register is short. There’s not much left of my monthly pay, and my mother is sick. I need every dollar to buy her medication."
