3RD POV OMNICIENT

'Unite the Big 4 Crews... and then we'll talk.'

'DG...'

'Surpass DG.'

'...The Chairman knows my secret...' Daniel thought quietly as his back ached, curved lazily in his seat. He couldn't feel time fly by, or possibly know how much time had passed since he reached the store.

Daniel felt numb to his core. 'The body which i may never get back... Should I... really be working right now? I don't know... what to do.'

"Excuse me. I wanna buy this." The customer's tone cut through Daniel's thoughts. Or at least tried to. "Hello? Can you hear me??"

Daniel didn't move an inch as his eyes centered mindlessly on a spot on the wall. Hurried footsteps reached the customer. "I'm sorry! I can help you out with that!" Crystal's fine featured came into the customer's view, making his legs feel like jelly and face as red as a tomato. "UH- I-"

"I'm a little new to this..." Crystal said, sheepishly, getting behind the register and beginning the scanning process.

"No! Its uh- Do you want me to do it?! It's okay! It's totally fine!!" The customer rambled.

Crystal looked down at the purchased items, her mind wandering off to the boy sitting behind him, without looking at him. 'I need to... help him as much as i can...' Crystal thought. 'Its can't be easy with Daniel in a coma. He's lost so much weight. I hope... he wakes up soon.'

"That'll be $450!"

"WHAT?! Y-You rang it up 100 times?? I-"

"Piggy~! I'm here!" The bell jingled as Zoe walked in with her school uniform still on, a big smile on her face as she waved. A look of surprise took over as she saw Crystal. "Oh! Crystal, you're here, too?" She wondered.

"H-Hey..." Crystal waved back, awkwardly. 'Z-Zoe...?'

Zoe walked to the front of the store as the flustered customer looked between the two pretty girls. "I'm sorry about that, your total is $4.50."

"Ah- thank you!"

Crystal's hands fidgeted. 'Zoe's good at this... Does she come here often...?'

Zoe disappeared into the back, then as quickly, reappeared, in a cute change of clothing. Crystal watched in sadness as Zoe got quick to work, already seeming to know what she was doing. "Piggy~ are you zoned out again~? Don't worry, i'll throw out the expired items."

Crystal leaned from one foot to another. 'I want to help, too!!'

Zoe moved from one aisle to another, throwing out the expired items, quickly. Crystal ran towards the other end and started throwing items away too. "Z-Zoe!! I'll help!!"

"C-Crystal... those are new, you can't throw them out..."

"Ah... r-really?"

Crystal groaned, internally, in agony. 'Daniel saw all of that, didn't he...?! I need to redeem myself!'

Zoe smiled as she began setting up a new display. Crystal eyes lit up. 'I can do it better!'

Zoe watched as Crystal moved the products into a robot-like figure, and stepped away in pride. "I took care of this side!! It's so the customers don't lose their sense of childlike innocence!!"
