Riki: Sweet morning! What's with the early frown?

Celeste: . . .

Riki: Miss ma'am?

Celeste: Oh not today, please.

Riki: Oh, alright.

Celeste: . . .

Riki: Do you want a free iced americano, though? To brighten up your mood?

Celeste: [stares]

Riki: . . .

Celeste: [cries]

Riki: O-Oh my.  [panics] What happened? D-Did I say something wrong?

Celeste: [shakes head aggressively] M-My pup died this morning. . . S-She's only one month old, Riki. . .

Riki: Oh no, Celeste. . . Don't worry a thing now, your pup is now in heaven. And your guardian angel is right here beside you. [goes out of the counter]

Celeste: [embraces Riki]
