The mall itself was a behemoth of modern architecture, constructed from gleaming glass and steel. Its sprawling facade, emblazoned with the logos of countless stores, reflected the city's dazzling lights. A constant stream of people flowed through the automatic doors, their chatter and laughter filling the air.
Inside, the scene resembled a well-oiled machine of consumerism. Gleaming tile floors shone brightly under the overhead lights, and the air buzzed with a constant hum of music piped in from various stores. The scent of freshly brewed coffee mingled with the sweet perfume of a nearby cosmetics store, creating a unique olfactory signature.
