Amanda smiled and listened in awe as Ryuu described his familiarity with bento boxes due to his family background.

Amanda was thankful for Levent's time efficiency and prolific photography skills. He just told them to prepare some bento boxes so that he could have a few candid shots of Ryuu's everyday life. Amanda was thrilled to learn how to make bento boxes from Kokuro and even brought out some of her own ingredients from the fridge to help make pretty kitty bento boxes too. Amanda didn't like to take things without giving back, so she felt better by contributing some of her own ingredients to the dishes.

And then, two last photographs -- first, Levent asked them to pose with Ryuu while holding up their new bento box creations. Amanda smiled her dimpled grin as the camera flashed. And then, she giggled when Lev turned the camera around and backed up into them, taking a group selfie together.

"Yay, that was so fun!" Amanda cheered when the photoshoot was over.

Amanda, Levent, and Ryuu all sat down to eat around the nearest table, where they had left their bags earlier. "This is so delicious!" Amanda said, enjoying lunch at last.

Then, it was time to leave for her 2PM class, Biochemistry. "Thank you so much for teaching us how to make the bento boxes, Kokuro!" Amanda said, gathering her belongings. "And thank you Levent for the photoshoot! I'll definitely pick up a paper when the article comes out! And it was nice meeting you, Ryuu!" She considered but did not end up saying bye to Paige, who was still eating at a table faraway with her back turned towards them.

And so, she left the dorms, headed for her afternoon Biochemistry class.
