You make your way through the crowded, bustling marketplace and head into “Bungo’s Bargain Bin”. Immediately, you’re overwhelmed — sounds, clutter, and choice. It’s a jam-packed shop filled with all sorts of knick knacks! You’re sifting through baskets and bins filled with clothes, silverware, cups, trinkets, and some unfamiliar things you can't categorize.

A large man with questionable posture scurries over - this must be Bungo. He sees you're holding a necklace, which you absentmindedly plucked out of one of those bins. He begins talking your ear off, clearly looking to make a sale. He can sense your hesitation, so he pulls you aside and asks you follow him towards the back of his store, towards a door that seems to lead outside.

Upon stepping through, you’re overcome with emotion - it’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen before! Trees, plants, flowers, all sorts of foliage that appears to be from another planet. You’re mystified and can’t help but lose track of time. Winding paths make their way endlessly through the gardens. You could stay here forever.

But, just as you’re starting to feel at home in this seemingly impossible paradise, everything snaps back - you’re somehow back inside Bungo’s Bargain Bin, at the counter, with the necklace in a paper bag and a receipt in your hand. You don’t remember making the purchase, but it must have happened somehow!

Bungo leads you out the front door and bids you farewell as you quietly shuffle away with a lighter wallet.
