You had been working at the local bookstore to gain some extra money, and to hopefully move into better accommodation for school.

He was in there looking for a book on a video game called battletoads for his little sister, Avery.

He poked his head out from a bookshelf, fiddling with the corner of the wood mindlessly but not looking at it as he called out to you, “You got any books on Battletoads?”
