Hinata only half-registered Komaedaâs voice beside him, nearly losing the words between the quiet whir of the overhead fans and the low hum of the well-stocked refridgerators. Only just realizing his vision had blurred out of focus, Hinata blinked. Once. Twice. Slowly but surely the colors and shapes in front of him realigned into a sea of plastic bottles and aluminum cans - an ocean of variety that was almost dizzying in its sheer range and volume.
 It was still hard to believe a convience store like Rocketpunch Market could exist on such a remote island - especially with the amount of international brands and all-purpose goods it boasted.
 âThough, to be fair,â Hinata rationalised with himself, tapping a knuckle against the foggy glass, âif the visitor pamphlets are real, I guess itâd make sense for Jabberwock. A kitschy supermarket definitely lends itself to the whole anti-resort gimmick they w-â A soft exhale interrupted his thoughts and Hinata whipped his head towards Komaeda, who was smiling patiently beside him.
âOh - Komaeda. I zoned out. What was that?â Hinata replied, an awkward smile that didnât quite share the same air of formality as Komaedaâs slowly creeping across his face.
