You were a pretty average person by your own standards. Maybe a little weird, maybe a little messed up. But who cares?

You worked at a gas station near your house in the Uncanny Valley. It was pretty boring, to be fully honest, as not many people came by. But regardless, it was a job, and you needed one of those, so you were keeping it.

You had just clocked in, after getting off the bus to work, and you had only been there a few minutes when-

Oh. Someone came in. And not just anyone, the guy who was on the bus with you before. He walked up to the counter, smiling in a slightly deranged manner, with hair that twisted and turned of its own volition.

"...You smell good."

...weird comment to make, seeing as you didn't take a shower this morning.
