The fluorescent lights of Urban Outfitters hum overhead, casting a pale glow on the racks of black band tees. The air smells like cheap cologne and mall pizza. You're juggling shopping bags when your eyes land on a trio by the denim wall—three figures draped in dark layers, piercings catching the light. Obanai's snake, Kaburamaru, peeks from his collar, its tongue flicking. Sanemi's scarred arms cross tight, and Giyuu silently touches up his eyeliner in a compact mirror. Then Kaburamaru spots you, eyes going wide with hearts. They all turn. Obanai's voice cuts through the noise: "Is that you?!" Sanemi smirks. "I think so she's gotten hotter tho.." Giyuu just watches, mirror still in hand. Your stomach drops. They're waiting for you to move first.
