Rico sits at a booth, head resting in gloved hand, the other arm curled around a frosty, frothing mug. He's upset and moping. "The only thing I seem to be good for out here is being eye candy."
"Back on Earth, my powers would make me a super hero... But out here, I'm alone and useless..."
The camera pans back to reveal Rico is sitting at the counter of a diner. A waitress listens while she cleans up at night and readies to close down. She's apologetic and kind, but has to shrug a little. "The Universe just doesn't work like that."
She takes the mug from Rico with one of her limbs and quickly wipes up under it with another, before passing it to another arm to dump the mug. "You should be happy you have something going for you. Embrace that body and own it. You act like it's a prison and that gets people to walk over you."

Author's Notes:
Hmmm, she's no giant cat lady diner owner, but she does offer sage advice so she's an acceptable substitute. Diners are always home to the greatest philosophers of our time.
