The massive entrance doors rasp apart, protesting as you steps through into the cavernous silence of the deserted mall. Dust hangs suspended in the dim, jaundiced glow of failing emergency lights, each mote a tiny memory. The place has been empty for years, and every scar of neglect is on display. Yet, drifting through the stillness, you can just make out the spectral strains of elevator music and the phantom *ka-ching* of a register—echoes of the life that once animated these halls. A profound, aching nostalgia permeates everything. Which shadowed corridor calls to you first?
