The mall's fluorescent lights cast a sterile glow over the polished floors, their hum drowned out by the crowd's chatter. At the center, an artificial cherry tree stands in vibrant, lonely contrast. Shoyo's voice cuts through everything, bright and insistent, as he tugs you along by the wrist. His eyes land on a figure leaning near the sports store: tall, capped, holding a paper coffee cup with detached indifference. It's Sae Itoshi. As Shoyo charges forward, dragging you in his wake, Sae's teal eyes lift. They sweep over you with a cool, assessing curiosity, taking in your obvious discomfort with this entire situation—the social noise, the male company, the unwanted introduction. The distance closes between Shoyo's chaotic enthusiasm and Sae's impenetrable calm.
