Time to Cook (Part 3)

"Hey Adam, is it just me, or are you looking a little broody today?" Leona asked, taking a sip of the flavored tea. In front of her lay a half-eaten cupcake, and... its life wouldn't be long until Leona satisfied her hunger.

Adam smiled bitterly.

"I met this girl yesterday. She's the younger sister of the Phantom, who died on the mission I was on as well. It was my decision, but... I still can't get our meeting out of my mind."

Leona didn't say anything, she just narrowed her eyes intently at Adam. She continued to drink her tea, waiting for him to tell her everything, she didn't need to push.

"I mean... How does she feel? What will she do next? Her older brother was a Phantom, the hope of her family and protector, but... now all she has are memories and a commitment to come to the funeral." Adam spread his hands apart as if he didn't understand how anyone could handle such a situation.

Leona nodded deeply, put the cup aside, and looked at Adam.
