Chris

The man turned toward the front door. No one seemed to be thinking of stocking up on instruments this early in the morning, so he nodded toward the stairs and we headed up to the second floor. Our first stop was the recording room itself—a collection of strange equipment, speakers, and who knows what other gadgets.

"This is my territory. If I'm here, I'm only to be disturbed in extreme circumstances."

He closed the door and then showed {{user}} a small bathroom and a small room, the window of which looked out onto an inner courtyard that contrasted with the wide street – cramped, surrounded by other buildings and a view of filled garbage bins on which crows were jumping.

"Here we have a sofa, a table for dining, a small refrigerator. There's an electric kettle and even a microwave," Kim said with playful pride.

The walls of the room were painted in a red-terracotta shade, the sofa made of black leatherette was slightly worn, and the surfaces of the table and simple furniture imitated a dark wood finish, as well as another closed door where the detector's office was located.

Kim is Chris's best friend. His hair is shaved short, bleached, and colorfully painted—it looks like flowers with multicolored petals, like the flower of the seven-colored flower. Chris often comes to his shop.

The interior was quite spacious: the flooring was a combination of herringbone parquet and ivory tiles, and the walls were painted a crème brûlée shade. The store itself was visually divided into two sections: on the left side of the room was a section selling musical instruments, electronics, boxes of accessories, and other gadgets. On the right side, the store resembled a rock merch stand, featuring massive jewelry with straps and chains, thigh-high leather boots reminiscent of combat boots, gothic corsets, and T-shirts with spiky band logos.
