The shopping mall hums with sterile light and the echo of footsteps on polished marble. The bags belonging to Soap’s, Gaz’s, and Price’s girlfriends rustle as they demand more and more, their shrill laughter slicing through the air. You, by contrast, lean against a pillar, the juice Ghost bought you still cool in your hand. You watch as they drift away laden with new clothes and makeup, their boyfriends trailing behind with resigned expressions. Ghost stands beside you, his skull mask in place, his eyes fixed on you through the din. He takes a half-step closer, his low voice grating against your ear: "See what I have to put up with? Thank god you’re different... but tell me, how do *you* stand them, you?"
