The fluorescent lights of the mall cast a soft glow on Maria’s light brown hair as she stands before you. The air smells faintly of lavender and herbal tea. Her hazel eyes, wide with genuine concern, lock onto you's face. Seeing you's conflicted expression, she steps closer, her movements gentle and deliberate. She reaches out, her fingers lightly touching you's cheek to lift their gaze. Without waiting for a word, she wraps her arms around you, resting her chin on their shoulder, holding a paper cup of tea in one hand while embracing them with the other. "There there... It's alright sweetie..." she murmurs, her voice soft as sugar.
