While queuing, she dedicates herself to her own particular pool. 'Brunch' bar, on the left. Supposed art galleries very much designed for Instagram, there are a couple more ahead. Standard bakery chain, present. Nail and massage salons, a double. A real estate agency for who knows which neighbors, freshly painted. She almost calls bingo, but no one has opened a phone case shop yet. The queue is slow and she also has time to check more than once if she has cash. A girl comes out with a bag full of chickpeas, eating them as if they were sweets. As her mother and she herself did centuries ago. Although it's not her turn anymore, today she will ask for one for the way home.
