After-Hours Photo Run

Summary

The first photography chapter, and a deliberate change of pace after the shopping-cart chase. Stacy explores the back lot and alleys of the convenience store with a Polaroid camera, and the viewfinder activates into a relaxed point-and-click mode — no skill check, no timer, no pressure. Mitch Murder's 'Remember When' lays down a wash of synthwave nostalgia that sets the contemplative tone. There are five to seven discoverable subjects scattered through the alley — friends, neon signs, graffiti, and Slater posed on the cart — and the practical reason to find them all is that every photo you take here is pinned to the Polaroid Wall in Chapter 7, so thorough coverage now directly improves that companion chapter. The framing trick: look for color cues. Discoverable subjects are lit in slightly warmer tones than their surroundings, so center your shot on the warmest spot in frame. The chapter simply ends when the roll is finished.
