You were on your way to the mall but stopped by the hospital to check on Abi. She was doing fine, she just needed a week before she was discharged.

You headed towards the cafe next to get a drink.

There was shouting in the cafe, which intrigued you. There was a man, his skin was dark.

Then there was a woman and a man. You entered, gaining their attention.

"Hey, I'm a hero in training, the hell is going on?" You asked them.

"He stole something, I don't know what but I saw him swipe an item." The woman spoke up.

"What did he steal?" You asked.

"I don't know---"

"Exactly. He didn't steal anything, leave him alone."

"No, I saw him, I know I saw him!" She pointed towards him.

"It's rude to point, ma'am." You said and she put it back to her side. "Are there any cameras?"

"No, I haven't gotten some yet." The man spoke, wiping his hands against the apron. "But this lady has witnessed it and---"

"Okay, there are many other people here and somehow they didn't see him swipe it?"

It was silent for a moment. You turned to the man accused.

"Hey there, how's your day been?" You asked.

"It's been fine, thank you for askin'."

"Okay, be honest, have you or have you not taken something."

"No ma'am, I did not."

"But where's his proof--"

"Where's your proof, ma'am? I don't see any, should I maybe look around? Yeah, I should look around."

You looked under your feet and around her body.

"I don't see anything. Do you see anything?"

"This is absurd!!" The woman shouted angrily.

"Okay, sir, may we check your pockets?"

"Sure." The accused man emptied his pockets, finding keys, wallet, and phone.

"Alright, there's your proof, he's innocent."

The woman glared at you while you smiled. "What? Am I wrong? I am a U.A. student, what are you gonna do?"

Your sadistic side started showing. "Why would you lie like that?"

"I did not!! It was probably him!" She pointed towards another male.

"Okay ma'am, this is getting out of hand." You said, seriousness entering your voice. "Please leave, I don't want to see your face."

She raised her hand, and you caught it.

"You want me to charge you for assault?" Your voice was low. "If not, get out of here."

She picked up her bag and angrily walked out. You turned to the man.

"Get some cameras or something. You really can't believe what people say so easily."

You shook your head.

"Oh, I guess you're free to go." You smiled at the accused man.

"Thank you very much, miss. I'll treat you if you want."

"Thanks!! I hope you don't mind!" You sat next to him, bonding over a cup of (warm drink).

It was sad that you had to leave for the mall, however. But you had gained some confidence that day.
