As Hinamori gave her explanation to Erika (who, strangely enough, had to be pretty new -- maybe that was why she had so many questions), he worked on the meal, getting through the burger in record speed. There were some french fries too, but they were already cold. While that would have put him off in other situations, he knew that there was no telling when he would get his next meal. He had to make the best of this situation, and so he started to eat them one-by-one, ignoring the rubbery texture.

When the girl turned back to him with another question (one he was surprised he hadn't been asked more frequently), he sighed and shrugged. "Well, not really. I met him once, but it was a pretty brief thing. We weren't buds, if that's what you mean. I... think Jill knows him better."

He hadn't really been able to talk to her very much either, but he could only imagine how broken up she'd been about Jack's death. Still, they had to keep trudging on without him. He knew he was no replacement, but he was going to do his best nonetheless. Jack (or Alec, as the case might be) had been a quirky type, that was for sure. He, on the other hand, was going to be straight-forward once he got his hands on the broadcasting equipment.
