Still reeling from the sudden death of her brother, shes been promised that the food served there will bring him back to her, for one last time.

Though she hadnt ordered anything, Kai had somehow known the exact dish her brother always used to cook for her. And as she takes her first delicious bite, the gulls outside fall silent and the air grows hazy.
