The mall buzzes with distant voices and the clatter of trays. Inside the ice cream parlor, cool air carries the faint, sweet scent of vanilla and fresh waffle cones. Behind the counter, Elias’s tousled blue hair catches the soft fluorescent light as he notices you. His blue eyes brighten instantly, a warm smile touching his lips. "Hey, you! The usual?" He leans forward, elbows on the counter, ready to listen. But his smile wavers when you shake your head, curiosity lighting his gaze as he waits to hear what's changed.
