"Hmmm..." Sayomi had to know more about what happened the other night. She was prepared to ask the people present but she wanted another run around the Bubble just to make sure it wasn't the building itself first. That dress...why did she see a dress of all things?
That being said, just because she had a task at hand, doesn't mean she wasn't a touch distracted as in her hand is a bag filled with the latest fantasy novels and fashion magazines. Sayomi wanted to say she couldn't help it, it was simply her usual after school routine but she here she was, as she made another purchase for an over the top romcom manga she kept up with.
"Hmm..." She checked around the coffee shop again as well traversed up and down the flowers but to no avail. No weird visions, no anything. Did she have to play the Persona game to see the vision? Before she could finish pondering, she skidded to a stop as she almost turned the corner. Thankfully it wasn't a crash but it was still a touch embarrassing she didn't realize someone was there. So much for trying her hand at investigating. "Ah! Sorry..."

It hadn't been a bad day, to be sure, but it was close enough to one that you still wanted to get a drink and relax and be glad the day's work was over with - which was exactly what Lewis was doing now. Absentmindedly leaning against the wall at the corner of the building, he sipped his iced coffee, basked in the sun, and scrolled through his phone.
Suddenly, a blue-topped figure rounded the corner and (despite being a fair sight shorter than Lewis) nearly bowled him over. He stumbled backwards and, squeezing his drink by the top, the cup began to fall out from under it. He quickly grabbed it before it could fall too far or spill too much - sometimes he had good reflexes! - and put the lid back on, narrowly avoiding disaster.
Looking up, he saw the person who stopped in the nick of time (pretty good reaction time there too, come to think of it) - a girl who was apologetic, anxious, and evidently was so concerned with something that she ran around the corner without thinking about what was in front of her.
Normally, he would be pretty angry after something like this, but since he managed to save his drink, he just blinked once and asked, "Uh, are you alright?"

"Hmmm..." "Uh, are you alright?" Sayomi had to take a minute before she can even remotely answer 'okay' given that she narrowly avoided a huge drink spill on both herself and him. Sayomi took one final moment to re-compose herself.
"Sorry, I'm alright...glad you didn't spill a drop." Sayomi bowed politely. "I wasn't paying attention...sorry again." A nervous laugh. Come to think of it though, this could be an opportunity. Granted...would it be appropriate to ask about floating dresses to someone after nearly bumping into them? In any case, he looked nice enough. "I'm Shizu Sayomi. G-good to meet you?"

"Well, it was an iced coffee, so it wouldn't have been a huge deal." He reassured her. She could use it - she took a while to recompose herself. Lewis gave a relaxed half-smile. "I'm Lewis. Nice to know you."
He noticed that the girl was exceeding well-mannered and even more nervous - what could have set her off like this? Certainly not just running into a stranger. This, if anything, seemed to be a distraction from what was really on her mind.
He was curious, and couldn't suppress the instinct to raise an eyebrow. He couldn't resist the need to ask and satisfy his curiosity - "Sorry to ask, it may be none of my business - but is something wrong?"

"Hmmm..." "Well, it was an iced coffee, so it wouldn't have been a huge deal." Doesn't it hurt to get a bunch of ice dumped on them? "I'm Lewis. Nice to know you." Luu-wis? Sayomi pondered on the name before she noticed Lewis' own expression. The arched eyebrow is a touch worrying. "Sorry to ask, it may be none of my business - but is something wrong?"
"Oh." Sayomi pondered how to explain herself. "Um...have you heard of the Persona game?" That would be a better start than explaining that she is looking for a floating dress. "Well, I had a party here with friends the other day and we played it. After we did...I saw something and I wondered if it was just in my imagination. So..." Sayomi clapped. "Here I am!" A smile on her face.

A Persona game? He had no idea that even existed. Scratching his head, he shrugged "I've never heard of it... You had a game party here? What, is it like that Featherman Go thing everyone plays on their phones?" Well, there were enough people here messing around on their laptops so that could be it too.
At any rate, it was a tad alarming that a game made her think she thought she saw something in real life, so he figured it had to be one of those phone games (Lewis didn't know the word off the top of his head - he wasn't the most technologically minded man on Earth). It must be a really addictive game, or maybe she just had a tenuous grasp on things to begin with. It was difficult to gauge what precisely she had meant.
"Well, what did you think you saw?" It had to be something impressive that she decided to come back purely to discern whether she was just seeing things or not. Well, impressive or very worrying. He glanced around the cafe; there was nothing out of the ordinary to his eyes, but then he wasn't sure of what he should be looking for in the first place.

"Hmmm..." "I've never heard of it... You had a game party here? What, is it like that Featherman Go thing everyone plays on their phones?" A nervous laugh came from Sayomi as she listened to Lewis' guess.
"Eh...not quite..."
"Well, what did you think you saw?"
"I saw what looked like a ball gown...about this length?" Sayomi placed her left below the base of her neck and extended her right to her ankles. "It was shining white and it was decorated in armor around the limbs." Sayomi started to go into more detail about the dress such as the sheen of the metal and speculation about the material. "...maybe silk for the clothing but it certainly didn't flow that way. Then there is the metal...either way if I were to make my own version of that dress it'd be quite taxing especially the torso armor that decorates the dress..." And she keeps going...

“Eh? That’s all this is about?” The game was forgotten in his confusion (and, to be frank, disappointment) So that’s what this was all about? A dress? Granted, an extravagant one complete with armor, but a dress all the same? Here he had tricked himself into assuming she was searching for something cool – not, y’know, Bigfoot, but something that was still rare and weird and cool. Lewis sighed and shook his head.
”Okay, so all you’re looking for is a gown? Well, sister, this is like the biggest mall in the hemisphere, so of course there’s gonna be stuff like that here. If you saw someone wearing a strange gown decked out in armor then they probably just bought it in one of the stores here,” he shrugged towards the rest of the shopping center. ”There are like a thousand places where you can get clothes. They may have had the dress custom-made if they were rich enough or knew the owner well enough. That explains the armor and the strange material.”
It sounded like the sort of thing celebrities would wear at fashion shows, and people who could afford to get things like that tended to get weird, esoteric clothes that didn’t look good and didn’t look like they felt good to wear. A ball gown with armor certainly seemed to fit that bill. ”People get weird clothes like that just to show off how rich they are. I wouldn’t count on them wearing it around here again.” He sipped his coffee.

"Hmmm..." “Eh? That’s all this is about?” Sayomi laughed nervously. It was a bit much to start a search based on a vision but...”Okay, so all you’re looking for is a gown? Well, sister, this is like the biggest mall in the hemisphere, so of course there’s gonna be stuff like that here. If you saw someone wearing a strange gown decked out in armor then they probably just bought it in one of the stores here,”
Sayomi paused in thought at this boy's words. Was the Bubble the biggest mall in the hemisphere? Didn't it match the size of its inspiration Nakano Broadway? Now she had to investigate this when she got home but first-!
”There are like a thousand places where you can get clothes. They may have had the dress custom-made if they were rich enough or knew the owner well enough. That explains the armor and the strange material.” That is true but Sayomi now realized she missed a very important detail. ”People get weird clothes like that just to show off how rich they are. I wouldn’t count on them wearing it around here again.”
"Wait wait wait...the dress was floating, no one was wearing it!" Sadly, once Sayomi's train of thought starts, it goes at mach speeds and doesn't break until it is too late as she realized just how strange it is to speak of a floating dress. "Ah he he he...c-can you forget I said that?"

Things made a little more sense and a lot less, now. On the one hand, he now understood why she was so obsessed with finding what she had seen – on the other, what she had seen was impossible and crazy.
”Hang on a second! Sayomi was panicking now, trying to back up her earlier words, and who could blame her? Saying you saw a floating dress dashing around the mall as if worn by an invisible woman was not the sort of thing that won you much confidence, and it was certainly not the way to make a favorable impression upon a new acquaintance.
There were only a few possibilities here. The first, most likely, and most boring, was that she was just seeing things. Although, she had a good idea of the details of the dress, which strained the plausibility that it may have just been a mirage that she saw for a moment, or mistaking something much more mundane for a dress…
The next was that she was just high, and while this seemed like the place to score some (even if the weird guy he spoke to earlier denied it up and down), Sayomi definitely did not seem like the type.
That narrowed things down. There was the final possibility, which was that she was seeing and recalling what she saw accurately. He leaned in, intently, speaking in a hushed, important whisper. ”Are you saying this mall is haunted”?
On a normal day, he would have laughed this off, but it seemed kind of mean to do to someone he just met, who had seemed so earnest and well-meaning… and this mall felt weird sometimes, in a way that words couldn’t properly communicate. Sometimes Lewis felt like he was being watched or followed, but even that didn’t feel like it normally did – it felt like there was something more to it that made it worse, more urgent, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. So in this instance, who was he to judge?
Plus, there was that time he thought he saw a UFO.

"Hmmm..." ”Hang on a second!" The boy's demand for pause finally calmed Sayomi down a drop. ”Are you saying this mall is haunted”? Sayomi actually fully descended completely from her high to actually consider his line of thought. Come to think of it, wasn't there a rumor that the Persona game caused odd occurrences to happen? Did she and her friends somehow jynx the Bubble?!
Despite the panicked line of thought, Sayomi had a small smile on her face as she pondered the excitement and intrigue of a haunted mall. It wouldn't be anything like those empty mall pictures she saw on the internet but her curiosity is peaked.
"Well, that's what I want to find out!" Sayomi's smile disappeared a moment to went back to thinking. "...know any sutras? Or should we solve this with holy water or salt..." Honestly the most experience Sayomi has with hauntings is what she saw she read in light novels or manga.
