It's been a while since we've heard from Shmoop, but he's back in the shop again. He's in the middle of a conversation with another customer, who asks him if he thinks the guy who was talking to him the other day is the same guy who always comes to the shop at the exact same time every day. He says he doesn't think it's true, but then he realizes that the guy is probably laughing at his reaction to his reactions to the other guy's jokes. Shmoopers around a bit, trying to figure out what's going on. He thinks maybe the guy was laughing at how much better he is than he is, and then he starts to freak out a little bit. He wants to get back at the guy for being so nice to him, so he asks if he can call him "suzume" from now on, instead of "supreme" , which is the name he used to call the guy at the beginning of the conversation . Shmopers around, thinking about what he wants to say, and finally decides that he'll just sit there and take it all in.
