"Whatever happened to that cabinet incident anyway?" Will asked as they picked up a slice of fresh Pizza.

"Well, from what I read in the news, it was something about an arcade cabinet with organs all inside." Neil said, staring at the Pac-Man shaped Pizza. He gently took a slice.

"Well that's weird, why would someone put organs in an arcade cabinet?! Wouldn't it make it unable to function cause all the circuts are covered in blood?" Will asked, taking a few bites of their pizza as they waited for Neil to answer.

"Well, in a sense, yes. But I have a theory that it wasn't just someone trying to hide a body." Neil said quietly, eating a bit of the cheese that fell onto his plate.

"You always have a theory, Neil." They remarked, chuckling softly as they had a few more bites of their pizza before setting the crust down.

"..Why do you never eat the crust?" Neil asked curiously. Will shrugged and picked up another slice. "It's so weird. Isn't that a part of the pizza?"

Will nodded and swallowed their bite. "Yeah, but the crust is always tough and hard to chew."

"..Huh. Never thought of it that way."

"You always want a specific reason, so of course you didn't think of it that way!" Will laughed. Neil softly smiled.

"I guess you're right."
