Friday. The last day of school and the last day of work for the week.
Kai, as usual, wore his polar bear costume and handed out flyers at the mall.
No Chloe, because that idiot called in sick. Kai never thought an idiot could catch a fever. Because, according to what people say, idiots tend to have strong immune systems.
Walking around handing out brochures, he got asked for photos by some little kids and their parents. Kai really did his best. Even though he had only been working here maybe a few days. The people here were quite friendly, Kai even knew quite a few of the shop employees working here.
"Hey Kai. I see you're alone? Usually you're with Chloe?"
Someone, a young woman who looked like a college student, came over carrying a can of cola. She tossed it and Kai caught it while he was sitting on his favorite spot, a bench near a clothing store.
Kai took off the mascot head and shifted a little to the side to make room for the young woman to sit.
