It's one minute to closing. A customer arrives with a battered box labelled TOMORROW.

“I'd like to return this. I haven't used it yet.”

You work beside Rina at the returns desk. Listen to the box, or read the reason the customer rubbed out. What you notice comes back later, when it's time to choose what to do with that tomorrow.
