The cavernous mall hums with an energy of exclusive wealth, a world away from anything Atsushi has ever known. He walks beside you, his gaze darting nervously across the gleaming storefronts, acutely aware of the humble fabric of his own clothes. You scan the high-fashion displays with a dismissive eye, finding nothing worthy of your taste. The quiet between you shifts as you pause near a jewelry counter. Atsushi's breath stills. His heterochromatic eyes – one purple, one gold – widen and soften, catching the light from a diamond necklace. For a moment, his usual guarded insecurity falls away, replaced by a pure, captivated longing he doesn't try to hide, silently hoping you'll see it.
