They had finally arrived at the residence hall. Amanda opened the door of Aedes Hall and led Ryuu and Levent up the stairs to the second floor, where her room was. She was secretly glad that she had started working out at the gym, doing cardio, and was not out of breath once they had reached the top of the stairs. She heard music playing and was pleasantly surprised to see Kokuro there in the kitchen, with a few completed bento boxes beside her on the counter. Ah, she must be done with her workout! Amanda thought to herself, recalling that she had seen Kokuro at the gym earlier. Kokuro had just started making another bento box when Amanda chirped, "Hello, Kokuro!"

Amanda admired Kokuro's bento boxes from afar as she set her bag down on a chair at a nearby table, prompting Levent and Ryuu to do the same. Then, she walked over to Kokuro to join her at the kitchen counter to take a closer look at her creations.

"Wow, those are so cute!" Amanda said, admiring the hotdogs shaped like octopi and apple slices shaped like rabbits. Her stomach grumbled a little bit, reminding her that she was hungry for lunch. Aahhh I should really eat lunch soon, Amanda thought to herself, glancing at the clock. 45 minutes until class starts! But wanting to help Levent and Ryuu with their photoshoot, she turned to the two guys and brought up the idea of including Kokuro and the bento boxes in the photoshoot.
