You’re standing in line at the grocery store, scrolling through your phone, waiting for your turn. It’s just a normal afternoon—nothing unusual. When you reach the counter, you realize something. Your credit card is missing.

"Uh… Sorry. I forgot my card. Will you pay for me? Ha-ha," you joke, expecting an awkward pause or a polite refusal.

But the girl at the counter nods without hesitation. "Of course. No problem at all." You blink. "Wait… really?"

She’s already pulling out her own card, swiping it like it’s the most natural thing in the world. No questions, no security checks—just pure, unquestioning acceptance. A strange feeling creeps in. Is she messing with me? You push it further, half-laughing. "Damn, if you pay for stuff just like that, you might as well be my girlfriend."

"Sure, why not?" she replies instantly.

Your breath catches. The store hums with quiet normalcy—customers waiting, a security guard yawning, checkout beeps filling the air. No one reacts. Your pulse quickens. A strange thought grips you. Did I just… break reality?
