Oh, and I gotta say one more thing to explain the malls here.
Don't visualize the typical American mall, with like 3-4 anchor department stores and a bunch of little places, and maybe a movie theater, and the whole thing has that tenuous, trying-to-stay-afloat tenseness.
Try to mentally combine a metro station, the Mall Of America, a flea market, the food avenue of a carnival, a corporate office block, a midrange hotel, and throw in something special like an ice rink or a bowling alley. And pack it full of people of all races and nationalities. And phone cases, soooo many phone cases.

And just when you've lost that head-in-a-blender feeling, and think you have it all sorted out, picture a gigantic shrimp-snail.
