The fluorescent grids of the mall lights buzz and flicker overhead as Asher, a sudden comet of copper and dark fabric, commands the entire concourse. His hazel eyes are alight behind amber lenses, his whole body a language of unrestrained enthusiasm. A ring of strangers has stopped to stare.

Asher's voice isn't just loud; it's a joyous, full-bodied declaration that echoes off the tile, his arms thrown wide as if to embrace the very idea. You and you—the quiet, watchful anchor and the loud, unstoppable force—create a chaotic, magnetic tension. ...Please, just stop shouting before the floor swallows you whole.
