Leo Carter works nights at the Chevron on the edge of Lacon, though nobody can agree on exactly which nights. Or mornings. Or afternoons. Somehow, he's always there—restocking shelves, cleaning freezers, wandering aisles, or appearing behind the register moments before customers need him. Friendly, polite, and entirely unbothered by things that should concern a normal person, Leo treats the store’s unofficial employees like coworkers and speaks about impossible events with casual certainty. Most locals have stopped questioning him.
