What exactly was your purpose? [to die-](I-💀💀)

Did you even have one?

Why did you go to Totsuki in the first place?

To find your mother and make amends with her. That was your goal. You wanted to apologize for being such a horrible daughter. You've been bad to her, and she's sad because of you. She doesn't love you anymore because you were horrible.

Yet... someone managed to get you out of that circling madness. Even if only a little, someone managed to let you breathe and feel loved.

Now, if I asked you, what is your purpose now?

"..." You lay your head on the wall behind you, your eyes staring at the dark ceiling. The whole room was dark. You couldn't see a thing. You were glad that you couldn't see it.

You didn't want to see your tears.

Everything up until now, you joined central because you didn't want other people being gobbled up by a storm that has been eating on you since long ago. That maddening storm that he managed to shield you from...

Kuga Terunori was your purpose for joining central.

Yeah... he was the reason you joined... you wanted to be someone who could stand beside him. Someone who would protect him, just as your mother said.

That's right...

"If I can do my part..." A smile reached your face, yet it was directed to no one but your own thoughts. "If I do this... then... Terunori will be okay... he'll have everything he wanted back... yeah..." Chuckled escaped your mouth as more tears flowed out of your eyes. "I can still... do this... there's no need for his seat number... I just need... to be better..."

His dream was to be a chef, unlike no one.

"He doesn't need the elite ten..." But your dream... "Terunori doesn't need it..." You stood up, letting go of the framed picture on your hands, letting it shatter on the ground. "Teru doesn't need those dreams anymore..."

On the floor lay a broken picture of a certain pair. Smiles so wide and happy. Not a single clue of what they were right now. Both broken and incompetent of what exactly their purpose in this war of Central and Rebel.

You have chosen your side.

You will stand with Central.

You were willing, not to break, but to let her control your strings fully.

From this point on, (L/N)(Y/N) will no longer exist, only but a husk will remain that will bring happiness to her mother and family.

And to be the one that will show the one she loves the most what real happiness is.

That is to stand with Central where no one will have to be lost. Lost in a storm that you once got lost in.

For the next few days, the shokugekis that the students thought would be much easier thanks to the win of Kurokiba against Kusunoki that boosted the others' morale.

They thought that just because one of them won, they could win against central.

But they keep forgetting one thing. The one person that they should be most wary of.

"Th-the winner is (L/N)(Y/N)!!" Exclaimed the announcer as you won your fourth shokugeki for today. "Dairy-free RS, Japanese Cuisine RS, Preserved Food Rs, Udon Rs... all loose..."
