Mina.

A voice echoes in my ear, muffled in snow.

"Mina!"

A hand grabs my shoulder and my body is shaken violently.

"Wha- what?" Miyu's face is right before mine.

"Are you okay? You were spacing out just now."

"Just now?" She nods.

"Did you find anything you like?"

"I was just looking--"

A far-off storm of footfalls interrupts my sentence half-way

Accompanied by sirens and shouts of "Get down!"

I look over at Miyu and see her frozen.

Grabbing her hand, I pull ourselves down to hide

Behind the rack of clothing.

In a flurry of movement, I see a parade of shoes run past us

The muzzles of guns brushing the floor.
