I was running through the shopping mall trying to look for a story character. New areas were opening up like a video game as I ran past the corridors. Some of them led to boarding gates, others to a train platform. I walked past a group of students playing a word association game. After hours of running in circles, I lost track of where I was supposed to go. The “mall” was closing for the night as the lights started going out.

Someone came up to me and hugged me tightly. She didn’t seem to want to let go when she slipped a note saying that she “[wanted] more”. I started feeling hot all over as I held her head to my chest so she could hear my heart beating.
