Even though her conversation with Scott had gone well, Chise was not looking forward to today's brunch. The first time they brought in the pink gruel, she had to force herself not to vomit after eating 1/4 of it and spent the rest of the day in bed. At least she could look forward to dinner, assuming that the staff doesn't change the menu.

Without any complaints, she accepted the tray given to her and searched for a place to sit (she spotted Kurogane, but he was already talking to another boy), but to the left of her she spotted someone whom she hadn't spoken to in a long time.

"H-Hello Lelouch, it's been a while since I heard from you on the bulletin board. How are you? I'm sorry if I'm interrupting something."
