Case Study: Tony, Kasumi and a maggot

This is a story about Tony, a young make believe who has not simply given a thought about the environment and his surroundings. This incident took place not long ago when Tony decided that popularity is only essential, given the right attributes of a person. These attributes would contain more than just looks, brains, strength, but in fact, it would basically mean a combination of all of these; even when it comes to being a team player.

Tony has always been that playful somebody who tries to get more out of his pets; especially the female ones. He loves the sight of cats and they always seem so adorable and easily teased with a stick. It was not cruelty, but a mere playfulness; just to get closed to these kitties. One of which was his favorite and he would spend ample time trying to nurture and cultivate that sense of self belonging. This kitty's name is Kasumi.

Tony and Kasumi have always been a pair. Well, in many eyes, Tony kept Kasumi like a full-blown investment where he would play with her everyday, given the most silent opportunity. What's tiring is that when people stand outside the pet shop, they do not see that Kasumi has already been owned or taken care by someone; Tony. They see Kasumi as an "open market" for entry. Tony was fine that many looked upon Kasumi as an eye candy. It was all pleasant, as he knows where his heart lies and he would play with the stick which Kasumi loves.

Nevertheless, there are always people whom seek to pursue their level of envy as a form of challenge or intervention. One of such persistent commoner goes by the name of Maggot. Maggot plays an eye role; as he feels that eye power has greater value than physical contact. Many say Maggot is profoundly adequate as he possesses capabilities such as caring, adorable and fun-loving. Kasumi would look upon the glass window whenever Maggot visits the pet shop. It was like an "aww.." to see such happening.



Maggot grew fond of Kasumi as Kasumi had many several false make-believes which Maggot is so silly to take to heart. Tony was aware but he felt what could a maggot like Maggot do? Being a maggot, Maggot continued to play the role of a satallite, simply drifting in space while observing the sights and sounds. He was incompetent and incapable? That is the question left unsaid. Nevertheless, the role in which Maggot played was only known to Kasumi whereas Tony was not kept informed.

As time grew by, Tony had decided that Kasumi would deserve more than playing with a stick as a form of entertainment. He grew tired of his boundaries and could not bear it any longer. Like all acid and alkali, limus paper had to be used from time to time to avoid bearing any unforeseen consequences.

However, during these TEST, Tony and Kasumi were quite immersed in their enjoyment session. Little did Tony know that he was being watched by a satallite. Who knew that could happen? And many who knew, would probably just let the news float them by. Maggot, being a satallite, would record such events in its mind, and hope one day to contemplate a certain genius masterplan to overthrow Tony.

It was not soon that the maggot had finally crawled to the center stage. Maggot made its entry by an abrupt stall-sign. He drafted a contractual pre-sale warning, telling all customers that he was about to purchase Kasumi. Maggot further warned that all further customer-bookings of Kasumi were out of bound. Tony was shocked! He did not know that maggots were capable of such temporary brilliance of sillyness.

When Tony confronted the maggot in the iron-man suit, the maggot spoke of words of distress. As you know, a satallite doesn't transmit well, due to poor WIFI connections. Tony had a hard time receiving. Maggot threatened Tony that if any further actions were done, there will be repurcussions. Tony was at first afraid, knowing how confident and brave a maggot can be.


He told Tony that Kasumi was actually in, in this whole pre-sale warning as well. Maggot told Tony that they were trying to cover up for a big conspiracy through implementing a "scape-ghost" which many believe to be true; indeed, gullible of them. The scape-ghost would contain a brief newbie outline of what was going on that the Maggot had purchased another pet or a separate entity altogether. This all sounds so Prison Break, but it should be the way. Tony was taken-aback by such news; because he knew Kasumi would not have easily taken this into consideration; given the many limitations of a maggot.

Before sales confrontation ended, the maggot whispered to Tony that this would be enclaved around the confidentality agreement and could not be leaked out to Kasumi. But, it was already too late.. Tony had desperately seeked out Kasumi's opinion.

Kasumi denied the above 3 paragraphs. It was insanity, she said. Kasumi was aware of many things but to the capabilities of a maggot; she was as surprised as Tony was. Tony began to explain the fundamentals of the masterplan and she grew suspicious and afraid. In fact, it was totally too much for her that she could not hold it in. Even after the scouts-honor, she leaked the news out to a particular individual. Nevertheless, it was expected; though weird?*UNEXPLAINED.

As Kasumi grew wary of the maggots grand scheme, she could not bear to step aside though she was not ready to wave her white flag yet. Tony told Kasumi to hold it in a little longer, for her temptation to spark a conflict would endanger the entire pet shop. The maggot did not know of such stories being told to Kasumi, it was still living in a world of fantasy and happy endings; even Jack fell down from the beanstalk!

That very day, Kasumi grew thorns that would effectively create a perimeter of defence that would literally stop any creature from its approach. Maggot, being a maggot, crawled up and got itself pierced! Tony was still in deep thoughts about the entire pre-sale thing as new stories rose from the depths.

Kasumi was reluctant to release such confidential information, as she still has a certain distrust for Tony even after so long. This still remains unspoken till today. Tony decided to take a number and await the release of Kasumi from her cage by the pet owners. He grew wary that the room temperature would catch up to his normal body temperature, but he continued his undying holding of his deep wait. Kasumi delayed and delayed. As the heat rose, Tony felt uneasy that a certain plan was about to play itself.

Tony visited the pet shop. To his surprise, Kasumi was already released and still idling around. He was furious because Kasumi made him wait. He fled the scene with anger and distrust. From a far, he spotted a satallite which looked like a maggot, floating by a lower platform, while eyeing at a particular location. Tony activated his iron-man suit in stealth mode and flew closer to take a look. And true enough, he caught a maggot. What a psychotic stalker, indeed. Now, iron-man really felt misused, seeing Kasumi had two-time the situation intentionally/unintentionally?

Question 1: Evaluate the characteristics of the maggot in this case study.
Question 2: Was Kasumi in the right position to keep the iron-man and maggot idling?
