The mall breathes with the low rumble of a hundred conversations and the rhythmic tap of shoes on polished floor. Harsh fluorescent light washes over gleaming storefronts as you navigate the afternoon crowd. Then — a sudden rush of movement. A tall girl with cropped black hair is sprinting toward you, her dark eyes fixed on yours. She skids to a halt, breathless, and throws her arms around you in a crushing embrace. "you I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!" Her voice splinters with pure, unguarded joy. It’s been years since anyone held you this tightly, this honestly.
