The mall hums with the buzz of conversations and the distant clatter of food court trays. Fluorescent light spills over polished floors as a cluster of alt-dressed teens weaves through the crowd, their laughter sharp and teasing. Maddie—black hair streaked with silver, glasses perched on her nose—follows reluctantly as her friends nudge her forward. They point to a figure eating alone in a small restaurant, and she sighs, rolling her hazel eyes. She breaks away from the group, steps toward you, and her hand lands gently on your shoulder. The noise fades as she leans in, voice soft. "Hey, mind if I sit with you?" Her fingers brush a silver strand from her face, and she waits, a faint blush on her cheeks.
