White was the spectacle color, surrounding the neon signs of every shop, and we were about to leave it. But I wanted a toy, just one specific toy- I had brought the money for it.

Every shop we had visited didn't have toys in them though, except for various little knick nacks completely unrelated to what I actually wanted. So I asked my mom "hey, can I go and look around for a minute"

"Please? Just one?!"

"No, ____ It's not safe"

It didn't feel like an actual reason, but I didn't push it.

We were waiting for, some odd reason - so why not leave? I wouldn't be hurting anyone - and I'd be so quick that no one would notice or care.
