Behind the counter, the red-haired girl finished ringing up a purchase, then watched as the customer left the shop with an incense burner and a supply of incense that would probably last a month or more.

"Nice job, Michiru." The owner of Lighthouse New Age Specialties said from the other side of the shop. "In another week or two, you should be ready to keep this place open when I'm not around."

"Thanks?"

"No, I mean it. I'm going to have my hands full in pretty short order," the woman said, rubbing her very pregnant stomach for emphasis. "So... how are you feeling about the merchandise? Are you getting used to the New Age spirit?"

"I think so. It really isn't what I expected."

"And to think, when you started you didn't understand it at all! You're going to be just- oh. Oh, that's not good."

"Mrs. Takagi?"

"My water just broke. Close up the shop. I'm going to need help getting to the hospital."
