[god i hope we missed yang's body somewhere that'd be so funny
anyway, shenhe wanders in, takes a look at him, and then goes up to the front counter. she orders a water! and she brings it to him, pushing it into his hands.]
Yes. I was locked in the IKEA with nine other people. [you can imagine how this was a NIGHTMARE.] We only realized the doors had shut when we couldn't contact anybody.
