Shrike sets a pot of water on the stove to boil, liberally adding salt to flavour the noodles as they cook. Gold starts slicing a head of romaine lettuce.
The aroma of cooking wafts through the air, and right on cue, Nemesis comes in through the door with Sir Ladyfingers and her puppy. She tries not to draw too much attention to herself, but the food piques her curiosity.
Now with bacon added to the menu, the whole dorm smells irresistibly delicious.
Eventually, Cardinal comes in through the door, with Amaranth following behind. They look like they’ve been exerting themselves, glad for a meal to regain their energy. Though Cardinal says nothing to you, the former-LiliS smiles warmly.
One by one, everyone takes a seat at the table. As you sit down, the perspective of the room seems to grow longer, like a trick of the mirror - more placements, for more people.
Hawk is being bullied into trying to enact some fabricated avante eating ritual. Harpy claps her hands together and gives thanks for the food. Shishiou has plopped one of the Nyaitsu on his chair instead, and is hiding behind the back while puppeting the kitten into being a dinner guest. Lance is calmly passing napkins along. Kestrel is practically singing with glee, stars in her eyes as she shovels as much as she possibly can onto her plate. Kou is inspecting the food before taking his first bite. Nitro is wolfing down his bowl with chopsticks.
The chatter blends into a comfortable medley, infusing the dorm with a warmth that is unmistakably one of Home.
The illusion around you shatters again - and you are returned to the floating platform.
Gold and Nemesis’s statue dissolves into red energy, which your weapon once again absorbs. The base becomes another pillar of light, spilling out from a portal to the next level.

“Sooo... what’s cooking?”
Re: LEVEL 2B
...Hey... We've got some pasta and salad. It should be ready pretty soon, I think, if you want to hang out.

"What's this, more of that noodle stuff?"
Re: LEVEL 2B
Yeah, it is. Should we toss some bacon on too?
