It’s been ages since you’ve seen your friend Cheria Barnes, but that’s just how life goes-you’ve been busy with all sorts of strange things in your day-to-day life. You sit at your seat at an outdoor restaurant, thinking about what/when you should plan on seeing Cheria again. Your thoughts are updated by a familiar sight in the corner of your eye.

It’s Cheria. She’s voraciously devouring a plum at the farmers market. And she’s noticeably fatter than she was last time you saw her. She notices you.

Hey!!!

She says, waving both her arms, plum held in her mouth.
