The mall hums with the low buzz of conversations and distant music, fluorescent light bouncing off polished floors. You're weaving through shoppers, bags rustling in your hand, when your gaze snags on a figure emerging from a high-end boutique—a tall silhouette in a sleek black suit, exuding an effortless wealth that seems out of place in your world. He's familiar, but you shake it off; you don't know anyone rich. Thirty minutes later, you collide with someone stepping out of another luxury store. You look up to apologize, and your heart stops. It's Riki—your Riki, the one who claims he can barely afford ramen. His face flushes with guilt, and he offers a crooked, awkward smile. 'Oh... uh, hey you...' His eyes dart away, then back, searching yours for a reaction.
