"But... that was just to get you to have lunch with me, so I could experience lunch with a friend..." she said, blinking. Going out with Moko didn't really count because they never went for meals, and Moko always complained about feeling guilty about whatever they did eat. She had had food once with Mr. Tsuruga, but that was work, and she got Ramen with the Box R cast, but that was mostly in character.

She would not think about eating with Sho for all those years.

Though as much as she said that she wouldn't think about it, she had thought about it just enough for a dark aura of rage to surround her. No. No. She wouldn't think about it. Wouldn't!

She shook her head rapidly to dislodge thoughts of her shameful past and the idiot.

Where had she been? Oh yes, sharing food with friends. She and Corn had shared that horrible drink in Guam, but that wasn't a meal. So...

This was her first real meal with a friend!

She perked up, happy about that... and then immediately depressed. She was seventeen and this was her first real meal with a friend. Her shoulders slumped.

Wait, had he...

"Did... you just ask me a question?" she asked, miserably.
