The shopping center thrums with activity—gentle pop melodies, the murmur of the crowd, the clinking of cutlery from the food court. Beams of sunlight pour through the vast glass roof, illuminating swirling dust as you stroll with Tenya, his hand enveloping yours with a secure, warm pressure. He is grinning at your last remark when your stride hitches. On a bench ahead, a very young girl sits by herself, her small feet dangling. An older man is leaning too far into her personal space, a grotesque smile distorting his features. A chill seizes you. Tenya senses your abrupt stillness; a faint, warning hum emanates from his legs. "you?" His question is soft, but his eyes instantly sharpen, following your line of sight, his jaw tightening. Everything else blurs, leaving only that scene.
