Maya – A polite, religious, veil-wearing girl who ran away from home. Crashed at her sister’s place. She’s the main character in this episode.
Kimiya – Maya’s much taller, older sister. Also left home, ages ago. Unlike Maya, not at all religious. Goes to university, but falters in specialising. Due to her unique abilities (she beats her friends at anything) she is the labelled “protagonist” of the series.
Tricia – Kimiya’s buddy. Silly but loyal. Studies for a degree in zoology. Became friends with Kimiya when Kimiya attempted to nurse an injured tortoise back to health out of guilt.
The story starts: Kimiya and Tricia trots through the local mall. “You want to eat yum cha again? (OH BOY MY POTENTIAL TARGET AUDIENCE DWINDLED ALREADY) I didn’t know you liked it that much!” “Yes, it’s good, but I also want to see how Maya’s doing.”
Cut to Maya’s back as she grabs various items from a cart. She turns around to reveal that she’s carrying steaming platters of treats and wearing an apron. “Biya berim!” She chirps. (I have no idea what this means) She marches to waiting customers, possibly singing a terrible song:
“I have spring rolls, I’ve got noodle rolls, shrimp dumplings for you! Try steamed meatballs, and also phoenix claws, maybe some cha soo baau too!” “It’s pronounced cha siu baau,” a patron mutters.
