Nom- nom- nom—
As Raye continued eating, savoring each bite—
"Hm...?"
He suddenly paused.
Fwish-
His eyes flickered toward Jerusha as his cheeks were still puffed with food.
"...?"
Jerusha, who had been quietly watching over him, blinked in surprise.
"What is it? Do you need something?"
She asked, tilting her head slightly.
GULP—
Raye swallowed his mouthful of food before responding.
"Can you tell me what happened while I was out?"
He asked.
His voice was calm, but his gaze was sharp and unwavering.
A month was a long time. Too long.
Raye needed to catch up on what happened.
And Jerusha, hearing his request—
"Oh, okay."
She nodded without hesitation.
Of course, she'd tell him. Raye deserved to know.
And so—
As Raye continued eating, Jerusha sat beside him and began.
"I figured you'd ask that, so I'll start from the beginning."
She had come prepared.
After all—
She had brought plenty of food. More than just one packed lunch.
