the mall

welcome to the mall. it smells like cleaning products, and despite being empty has the soft hum of people in the background. it's strange, with the too-bright skylight, neon signs and dark corridors, but something inside you can tell; inside there, it's safe.

'WELCOME TO RED PINES MALL', reads a sign over the doorway. 'STAY AS LONG AS YOU NEED TO; WE WELCOME YOU WITH OPEN ARMS'.

maybe you'll have a look around.
