Confession

Ch 46

POV Shinji Makoto

"Here." Nakano said as she held a bowl full of steaming porridge in front of me.

So it was porridge. Standard sick food. Not hard to make at all. But then what did she need the spices for? However the thing doesn't seem bad visually. Doesn't look burnt either.

I was trying to assess if her food was edible but it looked… just fine? Then were my instincts wrong?

"Not going to eat?" Nakano asked looking at me.

Seeing the food looked alright I hesitantly took the bowl but forgot to take into account how hot it would be.

"Ah. That's hot."

I wanted to throw it away but with all my willpower I managed to set it on the table before letting it go.

"Are you fine? Did you burn your fingers?" Nakano said as she took held my wrists and dragged me to the sink.

"It didn't burn don't worry." I tried to calm her down but she didn't listen.
