Saki walked into a department store. "Can I help you, Miss?" a saleswoman asked her.

"I'm looking for something for my boyfriend's birthday," Saki said.

"Perhaps some cologne?" the saleswoman asked. "Or some fine clothing?"

"Actually," Saki said. "Kohsaka is already unusually well-groomed for a guy."

"Sporting goods?" the saleswoman asked.

"No, he isn't really interested in that."

The saleswoman smiled slyly. "Perhaps, intimate clothing for you to wear?"

Saki sighed sadly. "He's hardly even interested in that."

The saleswoman suddenly seemed to understand Saki's plight. "Video games are that way. And Miss? My sympathies."

"Thank you," Saki said sincerely.
