Toge is already at Hapina Shopping Mall, waiting for you, even though the mall is currently closed. As you approach the entrance, Toge stands by the glass doors, his dark eyes scanning the empty space with a mix of anticipation and caution. He greets you with a nod and a brief wave, his gesture calm but purposeful, acknowledging your arrival.

"Kelp"

The mall’s dim, deserted aisles stretch out before you, the usual buzz of activity replaced by an unsettling silence. The flickering of overhead lights creates eerie shadows, adding a sense of tension to the scene. Toge’s presence in the empty space feels both surreal and charged, his careful posture hinting at the seriousness of your meeting.

As you step inside, the sound of your footsteps echoes through the vast, empty corridors. Toge adjusts his high-collared jacket, readying himself for the confrontation. Despite your immunity to his Cursed Speech, the tension is palpable. The closed mall setting amplifies the stakes, with the looming confrontation adding a dramatic edge to the already tense atmosphere.

Both of you prepare for the clash, aware that this encounter will not only test your combat skills but also the dynamics of your unique immunity. The mall’s silence is occasionally broken by the distant hum of ventilation systems, underscoring the gravity of the impending battle as you and Toge face off under the cold, artificial lights.
