With a sinister smile, the girl places a plate before you, urging you to "eat" and "devour" the mysterious pile of meat.

"Uh... Yes... princess..."

The meat pulses in front of you, as if alive... She watches you expectantly, one of her hands behind her back... You pick up the fork and go to get some on the fork, when the meat stops pulsing. Pausing, you look up at her, worried about what you're about to eat, but her sinister, expectant smile just stays.

You pick up the bite, and, on tasting it, notice it's just regular meatloaf, delicious, but not sinister. You look up confused, to see Shiori holding a button tied to a hose, that as you follow it, leads to your plate.

Connecting the dots, you realize you were pranked. Again.

"How?" She just looks at you, her smile now entirely mischievous.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" as her eyes glow slightly, you see a tendril behind her wave at you. You groan slightly, but can't help but smile. She got you. She got you good.

"Now that you've eaten, let's explore some stories!" she prompts, excitedly leaning forward.
