The food smelled absolutely wonderful. Spicy and meaty and delicious. Peppers and rice and baby corn... All that was missing was a small little confection.
Well, she had the cakes in the fridge. All she had to do is cut one of them up into reasonable slices and everyone would get one. But which cake? There's five of them. She already decided the fruit-covered one was for her, so there's chocolate, yellow, red velvet, and triple chocolate.

Rage stepped safely away from the pan to make room for Amaya so that Awaji's desperate attempt to get food wouldn't end up giving the girl a smack upside the head.
