An Extra’s POV

The store didn't hold a candle to its counterpart on Earth.

Perhaps that was why Rey was initially skeptical about it holding quality items.

It looked primitive, and while the design was fantastic, it didn't have that flamboyant ambiance that his homeworld's stores and malls had.

'I never went to high-end places on Earth, but even the places I went to are much better than this place.'

He couldn't blame the people here, though.

It was even unfair to compare them to Earth, to begin with.

'I'm sure places like the White House look much better than the Royal Palace. So, it only stands to reason that the marketplace would be inferior to Earth's.'

Both Rey and Noah were greeted by an attendant, who took them around and answered whatever questions they had.

Fortunately, they weren't asked to remove their masks or anything.

'They must be used to having anonymous customers…'

"I have Platinum Coins, so show me the good stuff." Rey blurted out as he found the lady showing him the common things in the store.

He wanted something better.

"A-ah! Right away sir!"

Rey and Noah were taken upstairs… to the true VIP Section of the Store.

In this place, all items began with 1 Platinum Coin. Not only was it much better designed than the ground floor, but the items all appeared better packaged—albeit they were fewer.

"Take a look around and get yourself a good-looking hooded cloak." Rey told Noah.

"Nothing more than 2 Platinum Coins."

For Rey, he planned on restricting himself to the same budget.

… That was until he actually began shopping.
