I'm decent. [ however... they will be eating fish now. ] I usually cook for myself.
[ this is not a "i cook my own food so no one can poison me" situation, it is a "i don't live with my mom and dad because i am an anime protagonist" deal ]
[ the way this conversation has built up the complete wrong impression of him ]
...I'm just all right at what I do. [ swimming. he's going to fetch some veggies and other ingredients from the pantry. ] It's normal enough where I'm from. I know it isn't like that for everyone.
[ very few people have lives as comfortable as his, he's aware. ]
[ she's so proud of him, this orphaned genius... :pleading:
she'll sit her ass up on a counter, watching him cook. ]
Sure as hell isn't where I come from. [ not that she begrudges him for it. ] ... My sister's around your age. I always thought someday I'd get her into one.
if nothing else, a week of memshare and being close friends with a bunch of post-apocalyptic creatures has given him plenty of room to imagine the sort of world she means.
there's just a little pause from where he's rinsing things. ]

Like? [ what else is even available besides... steak... ]
no subject
Vegetables and carbs.

I'm going to make some, so you should eat them too.
no subject
Sure. [ she's not going to turn down free food??? are you kidding. ] Are you any good at cooking?

anyway, she hears this and assumes that he's an orphan without asking. ]
... You're pretty young, aren't you?
no subject
but haru's dad is an alive salaryman so this is confusing ]
...I'm going to university soon?
[ he's basically a grown man ]
no subject
Wait, really? [ O: ] ... Congrats, you've gotta be pretty smart.

...Is it that impossible?
no subject
Yeah. It is now. [ but she doesn't elaborate, because it's a bummer and haru's like, twelve. ]
no subject
Ah. [ he does not immediately jump to her sister being dead or something, but it sounds not fantastic regardless. ] I don't have any siblings.
[ in case he isn't OBVIOUSLY an only child. ]
...My best friend is the oldest. He's always thinking about how to afford their schools and take care of them, too. It must be hard.
no subject
I could've guessed that. [ about him being an only child. lmao. but.
she stares out across the kitchen. ]
It's kind of just what you do. If it's hard, it doesn't matter - they're counting on you, so you do it.
