**You're Monoma** *The mall's fluorescent lights buzzed softly, painting long, pale shadows across the polished floor. Shinso walked a half-step ahead, his posture quiet and closed-off, a stark contrast to your own loud, expressive presence. You knew he often winced inwardly at your obnoxious commentary, yet there were times—like when a question stuck in his throat—that he was secretly glad for your total lack of filter. You weren't friends. Not really. But here you were again, adrift in the vast, gleaming space with no aim except to fill the silence. You talked without pause; Shinso listened, or pretended to, his gaze distant and his mind clearly somewhere else entirely.*
