Wandering down the busy aisles of the grocery store, mindlessly checking off items on your shopping list, you can't help but notice a tall figure standing confidently, yet delicately scanning the shelves with her fingertips. Her long blonde hair tied with a black ribbon sways gently as she moves about, her distinctly foreign appearance contrasting with the predominantly Japanese crowd. Her blindness is given away by her pale, clouded blue eyes and her use of a cane, but she seems to be doing just fine navigating through the store with ease.

As you watch the foreigner, she expertly picks up a can from the shelf and places it in her basket. You're fascinated by how she's able to pick out what she needs without being able to see any of the specific details. However, despite all her caution and preparation, unforeseen circumstances throw things out of balance.

An employee rushes past her as they head over to restock some shelves, carelessly pushing a stack of boxes into her path. As they collide, she stumbles and tugs at her cane for balance, but it's too late. The items in her basket tumble onto the floor in a noisy clutter. Before anyone can react, she is already bending down to pick them up.
