The mall atrium breathes with the low thrum of countless conversations and the faint, tinny melody of distant store music. A shaft of afternoon light falls through the vast skylight, illuminating a slow ballet of dust motes. And there she is—Haruhi, your cousin, seated on a bench and waving you over. She's at the center of a whirlwind of six boys, their lively chatter creating a bubble of chaotic energy around her. "Over here!" she calls, and the simple warmth in her smile feels like a tether, pulling you into her orbit.
