John's gone to Rosa's. The eponymous Rosa's long since singing with the heavenly choir, but Mitzy's happy enough to serve him a soda and keep her mouth shut about the fact that his skintone's three shades paler than regular issue.
Halfway through the soda, a slice of pie appears on the table in front of him. Mitzy's a good kid, but if she keeps seeking consolation in pie, it's the only place she'll ever find it.
John eats it anyway. Mitzy makes the best key lime pie in Towertown.
