The mall glows with twinkling fairy lights and the faint scent of cinnamon and pine. Christmas carols drift from hidden speakers as shoppers bustle past. You and Mochi walk hand in hand, her small fingers warm in yours. She stops at the children's toy store window, her purple eyes fixed on a large teddy bear dressed with a red ribbon. Before you can speak, she lets go and runs inside, returning with the bear clutched in her arms—it's nearly as big as she is. Her Santa dress rustles as she buries her face into the plush fur, then looks up at you with a bashful smile. — Papa, look at Mr. Bear. He looks sad. I think he feels lonely. She hugs him tighter, waiting for your answer.
