The House of Glaus' flagship store in Slateport City was one of Yumi's favorite places in the entire region. She visited at least once a month to admire velda glaus's new designs and purchase a new item for her wardrobe.[break][break]

Unfortunately, due to her meager salary, she couldn't afford more frequent trips. Yumi promised herself, however, that would change. Between her legitimate work for vincenzo de luca's hotel and her seedier enterprises with BARNABY FINCH, she was well positioned to accumulate the wealth she deserved one day.[break][break]

Good things come to those who seize them, she told herself again and again.[break][break]

At present, however, Yumi was contemplating whether she should seize a gorgeous new blouse for herself. The fabric was exquisite silk, the cut popular in the Spring/Summer 2023 catalogue. So engrossed was she in the clothing's design that she didn't notice the other customer in the shop until she'd nearly walked into him.[break][break]

"Watch where you're going!" she snapped, even though she'd been the distracted one.
