The neon sign above "The Vinyl Vault" flickered with a dying buzz, casting a sporadic orange glow over the rain-slicked pavement. Inside, the air smelled of old cardboard sleeves and dust, but Leo didn't care. He wasn’t here for the antiques. He was here for the holy grail.

The door gave at his push, the lock long surrendered to time, and the scent of vinyl and coffee rose to meet him like an old, familiar song.
