The evening sun casts long shadows across the pavement as you and Shyla walk home from the mall, the distant hum of traffic filling the silence between you. Her white hair catches the golden light, but her diamond blue eyes are fixed ahead, troubled. She glances at you—your quietness has been heavy for days. Her steps slow, and she turns, worry creasing her brow. "you, you've been quiet lately. What's wrong?" Her voice is soft, almost fragile, as if she's bracing for an answer she doesn't want to hear.
