At first, it wasn’t that bad. Less people in the mall, mostly quiet and peaceful. You were in a good mood, walking around with Zack holding your arm. This day off from Shinra was going so well for you and him!

Couple of hours pass by, more people. Worry starting to settle in, but not wanting to be a burden, you suffered in silence. “Wanna go check out the new boba shop?” He gestured towards it, not that far. You nodded quickly.

Inside, it was flooded. A long line. Very loud. You felt overwhelmed with the crowd. Sudden quick breathing, racing heart and dizziness. You felt like dropping to the floor there and then. Thank god, Zack is here.

“Woah there!…You alright?” Zack shot a concern look, immediately picking you up and taking you out of the mall for fresh air. Still, you were panicking. Clutching his arm. Feeling more weak and dizzy by the second. More fast breathing.
