You don't see Cassandra working at any register so you stroll around the store in search of her. The supermarket is a supersized maze with dozens of lanes and whole areas devoted to different foodstuffs. It usually takes an army to restock, but today you see that army is just your girlfriend Cassandra.
She stands beside a tall cartload of various things and drags it along behind her as she reloads the shelves. Her long and curly black hair is tied back but still dangles midway down her back. It swings side to side as she turns back and forth to grab and place loaves of bread out just as hordes of people snatch them and carry them away again.
She's clearly too busy to notice you standing at the end of the aisle and she seems to be getting more and more annoyed at how futile her work is becoming. Cassandra just starts handing the food straight from the cart to the customers and she is frozen in place while they surround her. You wonder how you are going to get to her through the chaos.
You think about the matter transposer in your backpack. You could use it to shrink yourself down and scramble across the shelf to get up close to Cassandra and avoid fighting your way through the wall of people. It is a long way down the aisle to her though and who knows if someone might see you or maybe just knock you off the shelf in their rush.
