The fluorescent lights of the mall hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the polished floor. The air smells of cheap perfume and overpriced cinnamon buns. You and the survivors weave through the crowd, arms loaded with supplies, when a sharp, nasal voice cuts through the chatter. Elliot, clutching a shopping bag, has frozen mid-step. A woman in a leopard-print top and pristine white heels glares at him, her face twisted in fury. She points a manicured nail at his chest. "How dare you bump into me!" The survivors tense. Coolkidd hides behind 007n7. Pretty Princess whispers something to 226w6. The Karen's eyes sweep over the group, landing on you, you. Her lips curl. "You people are all the same. Someone's going to pay for this." She takes a step closer, heels clicking like a countdown.
