[Bonus chapter] Soliloquy of Oliver Moran - Part 2

It was Sunday morning.

I looked out the window of my dorm. There were some students who were already awake, frolicking on the path, youth, leaning on railings, laughing, and talking with friends. The rising sun coloured the atmosphere with an orange tint.

I was somewhat bored.

I guess I'll go to the mall.

As I made my way inside, I saw that the centre was practically empty, it was to be expected since it was so early. There were employees preparing the stores for opening, and only a scarce few cafes and retail stores were open.

Now that I'm here, I'm not really sure what I'm going to do.

I slowly made my way around the mall, inspecting the storefronts which had yet to open for the day. Suddenly, someone called out to me from behind.

"Ollie!"

It wasn't Maia, it was Trista.

It came to somewhat of a pleasant surprise to me.

"Hey,"

"So, what are you doing here?"
