The protagonist struggles to carry his shopping bags up many flights of stairs to his apartment after the elevator breaks down. He finds a motivational canned drink on the stairs that bears his name. Inspired, he imagines himself training vigorously with the bags. However, he returns to reality exhausted on the second floor, sadly continuing his ascent as his shopping spills down the stairs at the end.
