Human

D1G1-1OV3 walked steadily between the shops of the mall. Her eyes darted from one object to the next nearly always pausing to say excuse me to the person in front of her. She hardly ever visited places like this due to the constant forced interaction with humans and overrated prices. she sits at a cafe table near an acessorized shop...

A young couple walks ahead of her. their eyes gazing into each other as she hears their secretive laughter. the young long haired girl stops before a window,her eyes falling upon a pair of unusual earrings. the boy takes note of this and begins to slowly walk past her, sneakingly running into the shop.  The young girl soon realizes that she has been staring at the window for a while and gasps as she apologetically turns to face the boy, her hair shifts through the wind in response to the movement. she moves it out of her face expecting to see him looking at her funny, but the boy is missing. her convex smile fades into absolute distress as she shifts her gaze left and right frantically searching for him. her hair flutters as she stands on her tippy-toes trying her hardest to look over the height of the others, just one of the multiple times she wished she was at least a centimeter taller.
just then out of the shop comes the boy bearing a small plastic bag which he swiftly conceals behind his back. Noticing the girl's imminent distress, he taps her shoulder. She turns around, half relieved, half afraid and smiles at his renewed presence. The young boy gazes at her perplexing face and she soon finds herself lost in the warmth of the gaze. D1G1 notices how the young girl's face seems to blush childishly  under her medium tan colored skin. the boy smiles sheepishly and reveals the gift behind his back. He hands her the small plastic bag and she looks amazed at it while refusing to take it. He pushes it forward in an attempt to hand it to her.  Unwillingly, she slowly reaches to open the small plastic bag.
Her eyes brighten while opening the small bag. the covering itself falls to the floor as the young girl removes its contents. Within the bag lied a pair of earrings, Sushi earrings, the ones she had been admiring through the window. the young boy tenderly looks at her, a fierce and passionate smile filling his face ear to ear. she wraps her arms tenderly around his neck immersing herself into his naturally saddened dark eyes. he slowly outlines her face focusing mainly on the fact that her eyes look a bit teary.
In attempt to make her smile, he grabs the earrings and carefully applies them on to her small ear lobes. he , unable to resist the tenderness of both her face and lips, gently caresses her cheek and kisses her softly. then in a sudden blushed outburst, the young girl laughs uncontrollably, her laughter piercing through the surrounding noises and astonishing passers by. A bit brave and mainly crazy, she turns around and runs stopping after a few steps and returning to revive the stunned boy. she holds her hand out from behind her giving him the "come if you wish to live" stare. noticing this the fearfully amazed boy grabs it.
They run past D1G1 as though running for dear life, laughing at the face of madness.

D1G1 stands up and begins to walk forward. She repetitively reaches up to touch the earring dangling from her ear. The laughing couple fades behind her as she chokes on the memory of her once loving humanity. The well known burning in her chest begins to fade as she lets go of both the memory and the earing and continues walking. The Sushi earring dangles heavily against her now shortened hair.
