18: How do your characters react to losing their friend/friends at a mall?
Alicia would forget she could totally just text Kattar at first and check the last few places she saw him, where she thinks he might be, and then remember her phone, or he would text her. In her defense, she didn't have a functional phone in her teens, so she was just used to having to find the people she was looking for, and she's not entirely grown out of it lol.
Kattar would text them, and be arguing the whole time like 'no, do not move. i will come find you. do not try to find me or we will never find each other."
Andrew would probably go back to the car and wait for Jinho there, since they only have one car so it's not like Jinho could have left without him.
Jinho would irritably go to his favorite coffee shop/bakery and just wait for Andrew there. Andrew will probably find him eventually, but he's not going looking for him if he doesn't have to. If Andrew doesn't find him eventually, he'll probably go to the car and watch videos while laying on the back seat until Andrew shows up.
Essence doesn't have friends, but if she lost Ayla she would be in level 10 panic mode. She'd immediately go to mall security and ask them to help her find Ayla. She would probably refer to her as 'my kid' even though Ayla is technically not Essence's child. Ayla would be in some store looking at backpacks or journals with her favorite characters from "My Mirror Prince" on them.
If she lost Dominic at a mall she'd probably just wait on a bench and text him her location.
Dominic would worry if he lost Cocoa at the mall, but he'd have to remind himself that she's an adult and will probably not be kidnapped. He wouldn't text her, because her phone is usually dead because she forgets to find it. He'd just wait a few minutes just in case she had to use the restroom, and if she doesn't return he'll check where he knows she's most likely to be. Fortunately she rarely wanders off. If he lost Honey he'd go to wherever the nearest sale clothing/makeup sale was taking place, and find her 100% of the time.
