Vivian was sitting on her bed and staring blankly at the floor.
A million things were running around inside her head, jumping from one topic to another.
Knock.
Knock.
"Your fresh damp cloth and a bucket of hot water is here," said a female voice behind the door.
Vivian snapped out of her trance and got up to answer the door.
Ka-cha.
When she opened the door, there was a bucket of water with a white cloth hanging on its side at the entrance of the door. She also saw a woman with red hair dressed in civilian clothing climbing down the stairs.
Vivian picked up the bucket and placed it on the side inside her room before grabbing her satchel and stepping outside of her room. She then locked the door as she closed it behind her and headed for the stairs.

"Hi, can I ask for directions?" Vivian asked.
The black woman sitting behind the counter from earlier turned around and looked at her.
"Directions?"
"Yes. Is there a store nearby where I can buy soap and shampoo?"
A confused expression appeared on the woman's face. "Shampoo? What's that?"
This time around, it was Vivian who had a confused expression on her face.
"Um... Something like a soap to wash your hair with?
"I see. Never heard of it. But if it's soap, there's an apothecary's shop right across the street."
"Thank you," Vivian said and then left.

When Vivian stepped outside the tavern, the sky was already getting dark and she could see people lighting the lamps.
She looked around for what looked like a pharmacist's shop.
I can't tell...
When the woman told her about the pharmacist shop, in Vivian's mind, it would look like a shop where it showcases a lot of medicine on their window and their buildings are usually painted white.
At least that's what they looked like in her original world.
But here, she couldn't tell. On top of that, she couldn't read the words.
Vivian looked around to ask for directions and noticed an old couple preparing to close their shop so she immediately rushed towards them.
"Hi, excuse me."
The old couple was startled and then quickly looked at her.
"W-What do you want?!" said the old man.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I'm looking for an apothecary shop. I was told that there was one around here."
"That third shop over there," the old man said and pointed.
"Thank you," Vivian said before heading to the pharmacist's shop.
She could hear the old couple talking about her but she ignored it.
Motherfucker...
I didn't expect that the shops here closes at night...!
Vivian finally arrived in front of the apothecary shop and immediately entered.
