It just... doesn't ring true. Granted, a lot of what Joker says doesn't ring true, even things she has no reason to be lying about; it's just something about how she talks, Ginko is pretty sure. Everything is a performance, everything is a show, everything is fake even if it's technically true.

But. This is odd. It's not like Joker to drop appearances like this, even a little. And while Ginko can't quite pinpoint it just yet, there's something almost frantic about the way she reacts. It's not quite the same as her usual bullshit.

So why?

"Seems like an awful lot of effort to shill some painkillers." She holds carefully still, only allowing herself the briefest glance to see if she can read the label. She's no pharmacist, of course; she doesn't expect to have any idea what the long-ass string of chemical words mean.

But, hey, maybe she'll pick something up. Like a warning that these are super strong painkillers, do not sell if you're a teenage criminal. That'd at least lend Joker's story some credence.
