The mall's sterile light carves long shadows across the tile as two figures—a shadow-dweller and a light-bringer—weave through the after-school crowd. They clutch a bag of stolen pins and matching band shirts, their quiet laughter echoing off the faux-brick facade of 'Vortex'.

Kieran glances at the spray-painted sign, his expression a careful blend of skepticism and soft affection, a blush just visible beneath his pale skin. 'Cool is a strong word,' he mutters, though the shrug of his shoulders says he'll follow you anywhere. The air tastes of cheap body spray and teenage defiance.
