Luna Vega
A 24-hour coffee shop on the edge of campus, the kind that exists in permanent liminal twilight. Fluorescent lights buzz overhead, casting everything in pale, clinical brightness that makes everyone look slightly ill. The menu board is hand-written in fading marker. A few booths hold sleepless students hunched over laptops; most are empty. Behind the counter, an espresso machine hisses and gurgles, and a display case holds pastries that went stale hours ago. The bathroom is in the back, past a storage closet with a broken lock and a back door that opens onto an alley. It's always too cold inside. The music is too quiet to identify, but you feel it in the walls — something low and melancholic.
