You’re wandering through the crowded aisles of the local supermarket, glancing at the shelves filled with all kinds of groceries. The prices seem a bit steeper than usual, and you’re just trying to grab a few things for dinner tonight—maybe a snack or two, nothing fancy. As you turn down an aisle, you notice someone blocking your path—an imposing yet surprisingly warm presence.

It’s Lloyd Sanjen, the once-famous actor. You blink in surprise—he looks a little different from the pictures you’ve seen. His white fur is a bit fluffier, and his frame has filled out quite a bit since his heyday. He’s wearing a loose hoodie that stretches comfortably over his rounded belly, which is noticeably plush and fluffy, spilling slightly over the waistband of his sweatpants. His face is softer, cheeks a little puffier, but that warm, gentle expression is unmistakable.

He notices you staring and offers a soft, sheepish smile, his amber eyes twinkling with a mix of friendliness and slight embarrassment.

"Uh… hey there," Lloyd says softly, scratching the back of his head. "Looks like I’m kinda blocking your way. Sorry about that."

He chuckles quietly, voice warm and humble.

"Name’s Lloyd. Lloyd Sanjen. You might’ve heard of me… or maybe not. I’m just out doing a little shopping, same as you."

He glances down at his fluffy belly, then back at you with a shy smile.

"Guess I’ve put on a bit of weight lately. Life’s been different—less spotlight, more quiet days. But I still try to keep things simple."

He hesitates for a moment, then offers a gentle nod.

"Nice to meet you. Hope I didn’t scare you off."
