It's a family dinner. They've taken another pound or so of meat out of stasis, in five little pieces browned and covered in salt, still hot from when it was seared two months ago. There's a big pot of oatmeal and a salad and bowls and spoons for people to serve themselves. The people are just sitting down - a middle-aged couple, a strikingly handsome man with very dark skin, a young woman whose eyes are focused on something not in front of her, and a girl just launching into a monologue. They're really not expecting company.

"Make you go bankrupt. Uh, I don't think people usually operate on... what's the... margins! They don't operate on margins that small. I guess maybe whoever loaned you the money might be like 'and you have to hire security' or 'and you have to have... shoplifting insurance'... if they think that's a big deal and they'd be taking a huge risk loaning you the money elsewise?"
