Old Pick Laundry.
The most historic shop in the coastal district.
So historic that all the residents on this street remember it existing since they were first aware of their surroundings.
The current owner is Old Pick, but not the original Old Pick. The now Old Pick had taken over after the original Old Pick aged and handed it over to Little Pick, Little Pick grew old and taught Little Little Pick, Little Little Pick aged and handed it to Tiny Little Pick... after countless handovers, it progressed to the now Old Pick.
A family-run laundry business.
At this moment, Lu Li stood in front of the entrance to Old Pick Laundry, or rather... where the entrance should have been.
For the door had disappeared.
Inside the hollow shop, some chairs and tables that hadn't been moved in yet lay scattered about, and an old man was wrapped in a leather jacket, dozing off under the light of an oil lamp at the counter.
