Richard's Gift

Despite having already eaten breakfast in New Clark City, Richard made an effort to finish the ginataang bilo-bilo his sister Lisa had brought him. He sensed that she had prepared this dish as a gesture of reconciliation, a way to close the distance that had grown between them since the recent incident. Richard appreciated her effort and wanted to show it by enjoying the food she cherished. He knew that these small acts of kindness and acknowledgment were crucial in mending their somewhat strained relationship.

"Thank you, Lisa, this is delicious," Richard said, sighing in content. He rubbed his belly, indicating he was full but satisfied. 

Lisa smiled, pleased with her brother's reaction. "I'm glad you like it. Now I'm going to leave you be." 

"What are you planning on doing now?" Richard asked curiously. 

"I'm planning on making new friends," Lisa responded with a determined look in her eyes.
