You Can’t Return to the Past

When Kanae reached home, she noticed that her sister was awake. The little girl was experimenting on a new recipe in the kitchen.

"Sis, where did you go?"

"I just went for a walk. Don't you have work today?"

"Nah," Laura shrugged. "I already finished most of it yesterday, so I want to spend today cooking a bit. There's a new recipe that I want to try."

"Oh? Then I want to borrow the kitchen too. I haven't been using it at all lately."

"Don't!"

"Why not?"

"You're just going to destroy the kitchen, Sis!"

Kanae recalled the mess she had created in the kitchen last time. She sighed to herself. "How about if I just make a fried egg? That's a simple dish, right?"

"Are you hungry?" Laura looked at Kanae doubtfully. "If you want, I can cook you something."

"I just want to try a bit."

"… Fine."
