❝ This is a parting gift... ❞

The shop owner crosses the kitchen, handing you the jar. His demeanor seems a bit more solemn than before.

❝ I'm sorry to say, but I don't think you're quite cut out for the job. You did really well though! Feel free to come by the shop any time, and I'll give you a discount on anything you want! ❞

He reaches out to shake your hand for a final time, once again leaving a complimentary piece of candy in your palm.

[ oh . . . ]
