在阳光明媚的午后，林默 dragged himself to the mall, carrying a bag filled with snacks and drinks. The store was bustling with life as teenagers shopped for their favorite clothes and snacks. But today was different. It wasn’t just any day—it was the day that would change everything.

“Hey, did you see that ice cream stand?” 小雨 called out to her friend, a giggling voice. They were both walking down the aisle in the food court, each clutching their own shopping bags filled with various treats. “It looks like it’s sold out of vanilla today!”

突然, a loud noise came from somewhere behind them. 小雨 froze, her eyes widening as she heard voices coming out of the store. “What are you two doing here?” she demanded.

小雨 and her friend were standing in front of a display case filled with bottles of soda. The smell was overwhelming, almost like something from a party gone wrong. “Just trying to find some good stuff,” 小雨 said, her voice tinged with sarcasm.

But no one listened. They kept walking towards the soda section, their laughter echoing through the mall. And then… boom! The soda exploded in a cloud of bubbles, sending both of them crashing to the ground.

“Oh no!” 小雨 gasped, covering her mouth with her hands. “Did you see that? It was awesome!” 她’s friend giggled, clutching her stomach. “You have to try it again!”

As they scrambled up from the floor, 小雨 noticed something strange about the soda. It had a strange taste… almost like something she’d tasted once before…

“Hey! Isn’t that the same soda you saw in the grocery store last week?” 她’s friend asked, pointing towards another section of the mall.

小雨 hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “Yeah, kind of.” She glanced around nervously. “I don’t think I’ve seen it anywhere else.”

Just as they were about to head back to their phones, a group of teenagers emerged from the nearby store. They were all holding bags filled with what looked like soda and chips, their faces lighting up.

“Hey! Did you guys just buy that?” 小雨 asked, holding up her bag.

One of the boys turned to her and sweat dripping down his face. “Yeah… it was pretty cool.” He took a bite from one of the chips in his hand, grinning widely. “Come on, let’s go find them!”

小雨 watched as they walked off into the mall, their laughter echoing once more. She turned to her friend, who was already trying to ignore the soda in her mouth.

“I think we should… just leave,” 小雨 said softly.

“But it’s so good!” 她’s friend insisted, taking another bite from her chip. “Come on, you have to try more!”

小雨 sighed deeply, trying to ignore the growing uncertainty in her heart. She knew what they were doing was wrong—but sometimes, you just had to do it.

As they left the mall that day, 小雨 couldn’t help but feel a strange sense of déjà vu. It wasn’t like anything she’d ever experienced before…
