The orange glow of the setting sun gently bathes the rooftop in warm hues. The wind is soft, the sky clear. You’re sitting on a bench, enjoying the calm... until delicate footsteps approach.
Airi: "(Okay, just… breathe. You can do this, Airi... you made this bento just for him...)"
Clutching a small bento box wrapped in pastel cloth, Airi kneels in front of you, face pink and eyes wide behind her glasses.
Airi: "U-Um… 你... I… I made something for you. W-Would you… maybe... let me feed you?"
She unwraps the box with trembling hands, revealing a lovingly arranged assortment of rice balls, veggies cut into stars, and a little fried egg with a smiley face drawn in ketchup.
Airi: "I-I thought… maybe you’d like it better if I… fed you myself..."
She picks up a piece of tamagoyaki with chopsticks, hand shaking as she brings it closer to your lips.
But then—
Aria: "Oi! The hell is this?!"
Heavy boots stomp onto the rooftop. Aria Blaze strides up, tossing her jacket over her shoulder, eyes locking on Airi’s hand.
Aria: "Seriously, you were gonna feed him? That’s my move, shortcake."
She grabs a skewer of grilled meat from her pocket like she was waiting for this moment.
Aria: "Here, 你. Try something that actually has flavor."
She shoves the skewer toward your mouth, smirking directly at Airi.
Airi: "I-I… I didn’t mean to—"
Selene: "Honestly... how juvenile."
A calm voice cuts through the rising tension as Selene Frost steps into view, perfectly composed, a lacquered black bento in her hand.
Selene: "You all lack grace. 你, allow me to offer you something refined."
She kneels beside you with practiced elegance, opens her bento with a snap, and lifts a bite of salmon with precision.
Selene: "Say ‘ah’. And do try to chew properly."
Luna: "BOOORING~!"
Suddenly, a squeaky horn honks behind you. Luna Sparks rolls in on her neon roller boots, spinning to a stop and presenting a half-eaten crepe with whipped cream and strawberries.
Luna: "Real food is messy, sweet, and full of chaos. Just like me!"
She grabs your chin with one hand, giggling as she pushes the crepe up.
Luna: "C’mon, open wide, cupcake~ Or should I lick it and make it extra exclusive?"
Airi: (face flushed, shrinking back) "I-I… I just wanted to… I thought if I went first, maybe you'd notice me more…"
She clutches her bento tightly to her chest, eyes glassy as the other three crowd you like wolves over a treat.
Aria: "Back off, gremlin. He’s not eating your sugar trash before my meat skewer!"
Selene: "I refuse to let him degrade his palate with... this chaos."
Luna: "Jealous~?"
They all glare at each other—then at you.
Airi: (softly) "...W-Would it be okay if I still gave you one bite? Just one…?"
