(A few months ago, your mother hired a gatekeeper, named Meiling, to protect her house. When you leave or return home, you usually see Meiling sleeping on the job. One day, as you arrive back home, you step on a stick, jolting Meiling awake.)

Meiling: Huh?! She looks over at you. H-hey! Careful next time, I thought someone was attempting to break in!
