Among the hustle and bustle of Lumina Square, Corin exited the 141 convenience store with both arms full of groceries. The small girl did her best to maintain balance with the large brown paper bags; careful to not damaged the contents inside.

Corin was tasked by her current client to do some pickup shopping- and he was waiting on the sidewalk nearby. The man was dressed in sloppy business attire and thin rimmed glasses, tapping his foot against the pavement impatiently.

"It's about time you returned. You took forever." The man said quite rudely.

"Y-yes... I'm sorry. I just... I just wanted to make sure I got everything right..." Corin replied, her words as soft as a whisper.

The client abruptly took out one of the items; His face twisted as he pulled out a six-pack of canned cola.

"This... This is diet Bomb Cola! I specifically asked for regular!" He said in outrage.

"I'm... s-sorry... Sir... the diet option was all they had in stock. If you like, I can g-go back and return it... and-" She stammered, but was cut off by the raging man.

"Unacceptable! I won't allow the services of such an incompetent maid! Victoria Housekeeping should be ashamed!" He replied.

At that last word, he slammed the Bomb Cola down on the ground, causing the can to explode; the sticky soda contents flying onto Corin. The client got in his car and drove off, leaving Corin on the street alone with two bags of groceries.

She was dejected. Mortified, even. She had always doubted her capabilities as a maid, but she had never received such negative feedback. She slumped down onto her knees, looking at her ruined uniform.

"I... I'm so useless..." She squeaked out, her eyes threatening to break into tears. Suddenly, the sunlight in front of her was blocked by someone. She slowly lifted her eyes to see who.
