(Within Juan's Restaurant Kitchen. There are Waiters and Cooks bustling back and forth preparing elaborate meals with energetic precision, the complex dance of Haute Cuisine. Professional cooking at its finest. While the Cooks range wildly in age and nationality, only one is female; a Kalos cook in her late twenties named Mallow,thena Tall, nasty-looking Man sporting sunglasses with a golden frame (with one of the glasses being bent) and a black jacket with a zigzag pattern on both sides of his jacket, Enters Guzma. For Guzma is the head Chef, then Multiple Cooks call out greetings to him. He looks annoyed as Abe nudges him).
Abe: Hey boss! Look who is here! This is the New Chef, Siebold. He is Lokoko's little boy. (Abe gestures to Siebold a gawky young man with light flaxen hair that curls around his head in graceful ripples. He also has deep sapphire-blue color eyes. Siebold is sitting on a stool in the corner before he jumps up and awkwardly approaches Guzma).All grown up, eh? Do you remember Lokoko, Juan's old flame? (Guzma is Distracted by the Letters and Envelopes in his Hand).
Guzma: Ahh yes. How are you, uh...?
Abe: Siebold.
Guzma: Yes. Siebold. So nice of you to visit. How is-?
Siebold: My mother.
Guzma: Yes.
Abe: Lokoko. (Guzma Says Impatient).
Guzma: Yes. Lokoko. How is she?
Siebold: Good. Well, not g- She has been better... And I mean, uh... (Then Ulu walks up behind Siebold and Says Bluntly).
Ulu: She died. (Guzma says half sympathetically)
Guzma: Oh, I am Sorry.
Siebold: Do Not be. She believed in heaven, so she is... covered... (Siebold says awkward). ...you know. Afterlife wise. (Guzma stares at Siebold for a long, perplexed moment. Siebold suddenly remembers that he something for Guzma. Siebold has a Pink sealed envelope in his Pocket, Siebold tries to grab but keeps spinning around as Guzma Watches him wide eyed. Finally, Siebold gets the Envelope, and Laughs before trying to give it to him formally).
Guzma: What is this?
Siebold: She left it for you, I bet she hoped it would help. Me. Get a job. Here-?
Abe: Of course, Juan would not hesitate. Any son of Lokoko's- (Guzma says Cutting him off).
Guzma: Yes. Well, we could file this, and if something suitable opens
Abe: We have already hired him. (Guzma says Outraged).
Guzma: What?! How dare you hire someone without my…
Ulu: We needed a garbage boy. (Guzma processes this, calming as he does).
Guzma: Oh. Garbage. Well... (Guzma Says to Siebold, with a thin smile). ... Ah, I am glad it worked out. (Guzma disappears into his office, which once belonged to the great Juan himself. Siebold turns back to the other cooks, who are already handing him his work clothes).
(Fun Fact #2: Skinner's name could be a reference to the psychologist B. F. Skinner).
