That would be a beautiful moment in a movie, and I really wish that movie was real

      I can happily say that I had a similar moment, I was in 9th and (at that moment) my crush and I were practicing a song we were going to dance for her 15th birthday, I remember that there were 4 days left until her birthday party so we decided to practice in the ballroom where the party would be (Btw this ballroom was pretty big and it had a very beautiful reverb), our instructor was there, but then he went to the restroom while we were dancing, she was worried that she would forget the dance steps because our instructor wasn´t there, the only thing I said was "Just follow me", we replayed the song and danced while singing the song and looking at our eyes, the moment of just the two of us dancing and singing in a big ballroom at night was just of indescribable beauty, we nailed every dance step just perfect and gained confidence, and yeah, we almost kissed but we heard the instructor coming from the restroom, after that rehearsal we were prepared for that day and we did just amazing at her birthday party.
      We danced "Let It Be" by The Beatles
      Now that I´m writing this it does sound like a movie scene lol

    Arstotzka has won the war. You fought hard with your brothers and a peace treaty was signed, cutting better deals for Arstotzka. You take a break from marching as your company rests in a small suburb area. You walk into an empty mall early in the morning to check out all the cool foods and shops left abandon. But the war has left the mall untouched. This song echos through the mall as tears fall from your eyes. You sit down remembering those you lost and those who have survived. You remember all the memories you made as you review your life. You spend the rest of the early hours listening to the echos of songs. Life is good.

    The good mall ending: you escaped the entities by going through the fire exit. You look at your watch same time you were trapped. Now leave. The song is a timer. Run.

    I'm getting a real "background music played on a Meridian-based phone system" vibe... And I'm 100% OK with that vibe.

    Audio effect doesn't sound quite right. This sound more like a large room than a cavernous mall.
