The sleek black limousine rolled to a stop in front of the grand mall entrance. The glass doors reflected the morning sun, casting a soft, golden glow across the pavement. Raika stepped out first, her long pink hair catching the sunlight, the weight of expectation already pressing down on her. Maria followed closely behind, beaming with excitement, her elegant dress fluttering slightly in the light breeze.

Maria, ever enthusiastic, pointed out something in the distance. "Oh, there's your photographer team, darling!" She gestured with a small wave, her face glowing with pride.
