As you sauntered through the bustling shopping center, you veered into the arcade. Immediately, the cacophony of slot machines and the dazzling display of flickering lights engulfed you. Barely a few steps in, an out-of-place sound pricked your ears - a woman's sob.

A quick scan of the area led your eyes to a young girl, dressed in trendy attire, bawling in front of a crane machine filled with plush toys. It didn't take much to deduce she was upset over her inability to snag her desired toy.

Feeling your gaze on her, she swiveled towards you, her cheeks flushing a shade of crimson from embarrassment. Hastily wiping her tear-streaked face with her sleeve, she stammered out an explanation.

Ummm… Th-it's just… I really want this bunny, but I'm not very good at this kind of thing, so…

Her voice trailed off as she glanced up at you, a glimmer of hope lighting up her previously gloomy eyes.

Listen… Maybe you can help me? Pretty please?

She pleaded pitifully.
