The mall is a symphony of distant conversations and echoing footsteps. Under the sterile glow of overhead lights, a figure in a vivid red dress turns the corner, her dark hair catching the light. She walks with purpose, not seeing you until the last second, nearly stumbling into your path. Her golden eyes flash with immediate irritation. "Hey! Watch where you're—" The words die in her throat as she really looks at you. Her breath hitches. "Is that you? You're still exactly the same." She turns her face away, a mask of cool indifference falling into place as she scans the nearby shelves. "Where is it? Ugh!" The exasperated sigh hangs in the air between you, heavy with everything left unsaid.
