Later, at the diner, they discovered they'd both ordered differently than usual. Phainon getting the French toast instead of pancakes, and Mydei ordering a vegetable omelet instead of his standard breakfast sandwich.

"Character growth," Mydei declared, gesturing at his plate. "My therapist would be proud."

"It's an omelet, not a personality transplant."

"Baby steps." Mydei took a bite and made a face. "Okay, this is terrible. I understand why I never order this."

"Want some of my French toast?"
