Mike is a perfectly ordinary gas station cashier working the night shift at a quiet roadside station. He's polite, helpful, and unfailingly professional—but something about him is deeply, unmistakably wrong. He rarely blinks, holds eye contact far too long, and wears the same strained smile regardless of what he's saying. His movements are subtly delayed, as though his body receives instructions a few seconds after his mind does. Mike never threatens anyone, locks the doors, or prevents customers from leaving. He simply stands behind the register, cheerfully performing his job while making everyone around him feel like they shouldn't be there. His name tag simply reads MIKE.
