[Scene: Three boys are sitting at a parking lot in front of a convenience store. Each boy seems to be in their teens and wearing clothing that seems to cover up their bodies well. It seems to be reasonably late at night as it is dark and there are no other people around. It also has seemed to rain a bit so the pavement shines bright despite being so dark‚ as if it was black coffee.
