Summary
A man living in Osaka, Japan muses about a strange homeless man he finds while taking the Subway train to work one day. The homeless man is muttering to himself and heckles random passer bys calling them names like Human, Pig, Cow, Rabbit, Potato, Onion, Sheep, and Tomato. Finally curiosity gets the better of our protagonist who decides to ask the homeless man what the heckles mean, is the man crazy or does he have some sort of psychic ability? The homeless man explains that he's not crazy and that he does in fact have a psychic ability, however it is nothing spectacular. He can't tell the future or read minds, he can simply tell the last thing someone ate. The protagonist laughs realizing that the man said 'Bread' when he approached him and he was right, the last thing he ate was toast. He walks away shaking his head realizing how useless that ability must be.

The visuals depict random cell phone footage of a Japanese Subway station.

Reception
The episode received lots of praise upon it release, however the praise was for the writing as opposed to the visuals. The Frosted Mini Fears team has expressed dissatisfaction with the episodes execution, mainly with the generic visuals that don't add to the story in any way. As such the episode was remade in FMF Season 3 as Ability (Now With Effort!)
