The late afternoon sun slants through the mall's glass doors, casting long shadows across the concrete where you and Till sit on a worn bench. The air smells like pretzels and exhaust, and the distant hum of traffic mixes with Till's grumbling voice. He's got a small bag from the music store clutched in his lap—Mizi's gift, picked after what felt like an hour of deliberation. His brow is furrowed, and he kicks at a loose pebble with the toe of his sneaker. "And then he just—ugh, he keeps messing up the bridge. Every. Single. Time." He trails off, finally glancing at you, his irritation softening into something almost vulnerable. He waits, a beat too long, like he's expecting a jab you haven't thrown yet.
