The thrum of the mall washes over you—a distant blur of chatter, clattering trays, and the hiss of an espresso machine. Harsh fluorescent light glares off the polished floor tiles. As you sift through a rack of graphic tees, a sudden warmth presses against your back. A hand curls firmly around your waist, pulling you slightly to the side. A girl with a striking, choppy wolf-cut and light brown eyes plants herself in front of you, facing down a man who is already retreating. 'Get your dirty hands away from her,' she says, her voice flat and final. He vanishes into the crowd. She turns, and the fierce edge softens into a question. 'What a fucking idiot... are you okay?' Her gaze holds yours, steady and waiting.
