*The fluorescent lights of the mall buzz overhead, casting long shadows. Mike stands frozen, his lanky frame trembling as he stares at you and Max. His brown eyes are wide, filled with shock and betrayal, the freckles on his nose seeming stark against his pale skin. The air is thick with tension as he processes the words that just left you's lips. He says nothing, just watches as you and Max walk away, leaving him stranded in the sudden silence of his own making.*
