Bronya: You have been avoiding Sal, haven't you?
Kiana: (Startled) N..n..noo
Bronya: Uhuh sure
Kiana: What makes you think that?
Bronya: He made breakfast for you and waited, but you never showed up. He came with your favourite snacks yesterday, and you shut the door in his face, and oh yeah, also, whenever he trains in the sim room, you avoid that time.
Kiana: It is complicated.
Bronya: Kiana, we both know you don't want him away from you, even for a second...
Kiana: That's the problem, Bronya. That is not how one treats another person; Sal or not, I can't do that, okay? Even if I want him by my side, it is just not right.
Bronya: Idiotka, you have grown brains!
Kiana: Hey!
Bronya: Though, tell me this honestly, is it not because of Susannah.
Kiana: Why would you think that might be the case?
Bronya: I see. So that's how you want to play it.
Kiana: ...
Bronya: Here is a piece of advice, Kiana: You are not the only one hurting in this ordeal. Those around you are as well.
Kiana: I know...
Bronya: Anyways, Theresa asked you to place your stuff in the residential area of the outhouse. Don't be late. And also, don't worry; Sal and Susannah are on different shifts.
Kiana: Thank you.
Bronya: I don't know about that.
...
Seele: That looks heavy, Miss Kiana.
Kiana: You don't have to call me Miss, and no, it's not that much, honestly.
Seele: Are you sure?
Kiana: Yep, you can even ask the Dork here, and he can confirm...
Seele: Miss Kiana?
Kiana: Sorry, force of habit. Where was I again?
Seele: ...
...
Old Lady: Young girl, what would you like to buy?
Kiana, who had been wandering alone aimlessly, gave the old lady a puzzled look.
Old Lady: You seem lost, young one. Why not try the Lost Paradise Pospcile?
Kiana: Is that a new marketing gimmick from around here? (She gave a dry laugh)
Old Lady: Maybe, but I assure you it will help you with whatever you are going through.
Kiana: I don't think anything can be done at this point, but I'm sure I will give it a shot.
Kiana spent another few minutes there, finishing her sweet, and in the end, she also won a prize. She got to take five ramune for free.
Old Lady: See, it did help you, didn't I.
Kiana: I don't think I needed help with that, but sure, ma'am.
Old Lady: This is the problem with you young ones. Never thankful for the little things in life, constantly worrying about things they can't control. Hear me out, young one, if you want something in life, don't think too much and just go for it. That is how you live life.
Kiana: ... Sure, ma'am?
Old Lady: Good.
From outside, a voice came in:
Sal: Trust me, scramble brains popsicles are the best.
Susannah: Why should I trust you?
Sal: Because I said so. Have I ever been wrong?
Susannah: Yes, many times, and I won't trust you at all. The last time you made me try an ice cream was red chilli flavour.
Sal: That was ages ago.
Susannah: But still...
Meanwhile:
Kiana: Ma'am, I am sorry, but can you please hide me.
Old Lady: Huh?
Kiana: (eyes pleadingly) I beg you, this is very important.
Not having any choice, she hides behind the counter as Sal and Susannah enter the shop.
Sal: Two blueberry popsicles, ma'am.
Old lady: Sure.
Susannah: Ma'am, that popsicle won't be extra hot, right?
Old lady: Why would it be? Popsicles are supposed to be sweet.
Sal: Pffttt, that's what I have been trying to explain to her.
Susannah: Shut up!
Sal: pfft
The old lady gave them popsicles.
Sal: Oh, ma'am, do you have American nuts-flavoured ice cream?
Old lady: Sorry, son, we ran out of it last week.
Sal: I see. Any chance I can find it somewhere else?
The old lady shook her head.
Susannah: You like it?
Sal: Kind of...but someone I know likes it even more. So I wanted to get it for her.
Meanwhile, Kiana under the counter: (tears in her eyes) That's why you are such a dork
