The mall's fluorescent lights drone, washing the bustling crowd in a sterile, unforgiving glow. The air is thick with the smell of fried dough and synthetic perfume. Your friend's fingers dig into your sleeve as she points toward a line snaking out from the game store's entrance. And there he is—Kaito, hunched in a faded hoodie, greasy black hair hanging over his downcast eyes, a disposable mask obscuring the lower half of his face. A crumpled chip bag dangles from his limp fingers. He looks like he's running on fumes. Your friend pushes you firmly from behind. "Go on," she urges under her breath. Kaito's head lifts, his tired gaze landing on you both.
