It’s been a long week. You’ve worked diligently—by yourself—to get the store back together, and you’ve done well, if you say so yourself. You’ve got the exterior all nice and clean, and everything’s completely organized and functional on the inside. You feel rather accomplished. You haven’t had any luck in hiring anyone yet, but you’ve still got a really good feeling about that.
As a matter of fact, the break from hero work has really done you some good. You’ve gotten a grand amount of sleep, much more than you’re used to, and everything is easier on your conscience. Everything feels absolutely wonderful to you, so much so that all of those things don’t even seem to matter! In fact, the only thing that seems to matter to you at the moment is that…

…you’re still smiling, and you think that’s what really counts.
