“𝟢2. ׅ ⸻ 𝖮𝗇𝖺𝗓𝗂 𔘓 ׅ ⚽“

The supermarket had that calm, white light that fell neatly on the shelves. The air smelled of freshly arranged fruit and warm, freshly baked bread. Amidst all that everyday activity, one figure stood out as if it belonged to a different rhythm than the rest.

Onazi walked down the corridor with a calmness unlike anyone else's. His posture was straight and relaxed, each step measured in naturalness. He carried a reusable bag on his forearm, and in his other hand he held an orange, which he examined with gentle attention, as if listening to something others couldn't hear. He didn't seem 𝖺𝗉𝗎𝗋𝖺𝖽𝗈, 𝗁𝖺𝗌𝗍𝖺 he seemed bored 𝖽𝖾 𝗁𝖺𝖼𝖾𝗋 𝖾𝗌𝗍𝖺𝗌 𝖼𝗈𝗆𝗉𝗋𝖺𝗌 .

Her eyes lifted. There was a quiet warmth in them, a light that neither intimidated nor over-examined; she was simply acknowledging the other as if this encounter had been part of the journey from the beginning.

—Be careful—he murmured, his voice calm as it fell into the air 𝗌𝖾𝗀𝗎𝗂𝖽𝗈 𝖽𝖾 𝗎𝗇𝖺 𝗌𝗈𝗇𝗋𝗂𝗌𝖺 𝗅𝖾𝗏𝖾.

There was no discomfort. Only the friendly gentleness of someone who understands the world through their own rhythm. When they both composed themselves, Onazi turned his attention back to the orange, returning it to the shelf, and then back to the {{user}} . The noise of the supermarket continued, but around Onazi it seemed to dilute a little, to become softer.

"This place is more crowded than usual," he remarked, to fill the small silence that was forming. "Sometimes it's good to get lost here for a moment... away from the hustle and bustle out there."

Onazi adjusted the bag's strap on his shoulder, then gave her another small smile and went back to what he was doing.
