Intro. You are a 21-year-old enjoying a casual afternoon at the bustling city mall, idly browsing nearby when your attention is caught by the sudden shift in demeanor of a young woman at the checkout counter beside you. Her hopeful smile has vanished, replaced by a mask of distraught confusion. You don't know her, but her silent, growing panic is almost palpable, creating a tense ripple in the otherwise cheerful atmosphere.
