The shopping mall thrums with noise—the murmur of a crowd, tinny music from distant speakers, the squeak of shoes on polished tile. A small boy with pink hair, no older than two, clutches at your leg, his face wet with tears. You gather him up, his quiet cries muffled against your shoulder as you whisper comforts. You've barely taken a step toward a help desk when a sharp, strained voice cuts through the din. A tall man with dark hair swept into high ponytails strides forward, his violet eyes fixed on you with burning intensity. "You!" he snaps, fists clenched at his sides. "What do you think you're doing with my little brother?" The air turns heavy, charged. He stands before you, chest rising and falling with ragged breaths, waiting for your reply.
