Diego was feeling a bit self-conscious as he walked down the aisle. It wasn't that he was ashamed of going to the store for a quick snack, but it was more about how he felt people were staring at him and his suit. After all, he was breaking in his "Aunt Estrella" suit, so he felt a bit more pressure to act natural; much to his chagrin he always was like this with a new suit, and he hated how he overthought things. He eventually found what he was looking for, but as he bent down to pick up the ice cream from the fridge, he couldn't help but notice how his center of balance was off. Fortunately, nobody saw him almost fall over, and he was cheered up by the fact that he got what he came for. And, if anybody judged "Estrella" for buying some distinctly unhealthy snacks (i.e. soda, chips, and the ice cream), well, he could play it off as "buying something for my nephew". Later on at home, as he helped himself to the snacks, he felt pleased. Why was he so nervous about going out for the first time in this alter-ego? Things went swimmingly, and he looked fantastic! Can't get much better than that!
