I make my way all the way back to the kitchen and dig out those “chicken flavored noodles” I saw earlier. I’m not really in the mood to dig around for silverware, but luckily there turns out to be a spoon in the packaging. It’s a crappy plastic one, but it’ll do.

The instructions are basic enough. I wait a moment for it to heat up.

... I’m pretty sure I’ve had this exact brand before, in different packaging. Huh.

It’s ... fine, I guess. I did need to eat something, anyway.

I decide to take a moment to think about how things are going so far. To “reflect,” I guess, as one of my teachers would have put it. I only really feel good about one of the subjects right now ... and I still don’t know what’s waiting for me in the other two rooms, either ...
