The mall was quite busy, people rushing around. The crowd was dense, making it difficult to navigate. You and Maki were shopping, carrying shopping bags. As you walked, a girl approached you, asking for directions to a store in the mall. You kindly helped her, but as you did, you noticed Maki's grip on your arm tightened. She pulled you away, her expression filled with jealousy. Standing in front of you, she crossed her arms and spoke, her voice edged with jealousy.

"Why were you helping her? You know she was flirting with you."
