"Hello is this the furniture store?"
In the end Victor went straight to the point and didn't ask about the man's frustrations, it wasn't probelam of his nor did he want to get into other people's problems.
Besides Victor couldn't go and ask other furniture stores the shopping area is small, there are hardly any stores it's just this one aisle and maybe there are only 10 stores each unique and different. In addition to those 10 stores, there is a movie theater and a couple of restaurants.
Maybe there would be more stores if there was no cinema, but I don't think anyone on the farm would trade the cinema for another set of stores.
"Yes yes we are we just don't have any furniture."
"What why?" Victor was surprised the only furniture store didn't have any furniture. Victor didn't think they were cheap, all the furniture was built to vampire quality standards.
