[Rika peered over her shoulder to look at Sandy. Once the rice was in the cooker the rest was easy going. She nodded before going back to cutting up the vegetables for the tempura and salad. Sandy's New York sounded much different than the New York she had heard about. But wasn't that how it always was? The world is always different when you live in it instead of outside looking in.]

Miiiii Thats a very scary feeling. After feeling that way for a long time, it may feel like it sometimes happens again.

[Sandy's New York was different, she had never heard of heroes defending the weak unless it was in comic books- or prehaps the rare times when she saw someone stand up against fate.]

But, I am happy for you that you're now in a better place, but I am sad that you were in a bad place to begin with. And it is sad about the heroes.

[Salads were put into bowls and then put into the fridge to stay crisp while Rika worked on the rest of the meal.]

It must be hard work hiding who you really are or who you were. But, How was it? Seeing sunshine for the first time? And snow too. [She shut her eyes for a moment, remembering the last time she saw snow. Hinamizawa would have terrible winters, but it made for some fun things.]

Sometimes thinking about the little things can help make it through the bad things. Like school! Are you in any clubs? And do you only do the delivery?
