*Rewind to the past*

A young Veronica school uniform is grieving for her dad when she sees Cole fall into the river. She jumps in to save him and they get into this funny tug-of-war where she eventually loses consciousness. A moment later, she regains consciousness but finds herself beside a lifeless Cole on land. She checks his breathing then immediately chides him for playing dead.

Veronica: "Hey, you're playing dead because you feel embarrassed, aren't you? What did Hum River do wrong? The Hum river is no rubbish dump (Heh!). How could you be so selfish? Why can't you think for the living? You owe me your life. In future, you're not allowed to die off easily. LIVE WELL!"

Hilariously, he opens his eyes and raises his head to look at her leaving silhouette but plays dead again when she glances back.

Veronica bump into him again when she started working at the newly opened the flower shop. She recognizes him right away and grumbles how he did not seem to recognize her. What with her pretty face and the fact that she saved his life.
