I burst out of the convenience store after taking a candy bar I was too broke to afford.
"Hey! COME BACK HERE!" The store owner yells.
I touch a patron about to enter, and he runs up to touch the store owner. After doing so, the two both snap out of their trances, and have no idea what's going on. I take my cue, turning back to the two clueless saps.
"Alright, see you next time, Mister! Thanks for the advice!" I smile, waving innocently and opening my candy bar. To prevent looking stupid due to his memory lapse, he hesitantly waves back and heads back inside, taking his equally-oblivious customer with him.
Glad that worked out. Now...to find some way to get actual money. Maybe these approaching strangers know something valuable I can touch-learn...
