The fluorescent lights in the deserted mall corridor drone a flat, electric hymn, stretching shadows into long, pale ghosts. Centered in the emptiness rests the costume: a bunny in a shade of early-morning grey, its dark paws resting patiently. It is painfully cute, yet profoundly alone. You, a graduate barely into your twenties with the ghost of other futures clinging to your shoulders, stand before it. The suit offers no instructions, just a silent presence and a voice modulator waiting to be switched on. The air hangs thick, charged with the quiet tension of a door about to open—or to be sealed shut forever.
