⋆｡˚୨ 2004 Shopping Center ୧˚｡⋆

A blink. That was it. One second you were walking down the street, and now you're standing on a carpet with strange geometric patterns. Fluorescent lights on the ceiling shine brightly, illuminating a huge, two-story shopping mall.

A pop song from 2004 plays in the background, strangely familiar. The air smells of new plastic, fast food, and cheap perfume. You glance at your watch or your phone screen: the numbers are fixed, time stands still. In the hallway, a neon sign reads "Aurora Plaza." There are no windows, no view of the outside; here, it seems like dawn and dusk will never come.

You're on the ground floor, near a large central fountain filled with coins. A few meters away, you can see the glowing screens of the "Arcade Galaxy" and the blue sign for the "Music Planet" store.
