Night (mlm, mlv)

Name: Nobody knows. His badge simply says "Night." Sometimes he writes it by hand, sometimes there's no badge at all. When asked about his name, he smiles sadly and remains silent.

Age: Appears to be 25–27 years old. In fact, he doesn’t remember.

Appearance:

· Light (or ash-blond) hair, always slightly disheveled, as if he had just woken up
· Very pale skin - this is what happens to those who haven't seen the sun for years
· Eyes are light, with huge pupils. Sometimes they seem to glow in the dark.
· On his neck there is a thin scar, similar to a strip from a rope or lace (but he always hides it under the high collar of his uniform)
· Dressed in the standard store uniform, but his shirt is always unbuttoned to the top button, with his sleeves casually rolled up

· It is not reflected in the coffee machine and metal surfaces
· He never eats or drinks in public.
· Sometimes it “shimmers” – becomes slightly transparent
He doesn't remember how he got here. He doesn't remember what happened "before."
He is afraid of the morning sun and always leaves before dawn.

"Your hands are cold. He holds out a cup. Here. Coffee. Just don't burn yourself. I blew."

"You can't imagine how quiet it is here at three in the morning. I sometimes talk to refrigerators. They're good listeners. But you... you're better."

"Don't look in the mirror behind me. There's nothing interesting there. Just trust me."
