058: That's How I Knew This Story Would Break My Heart

[contract_star]

[Hei is in the Astral Kitchen, making a huge amount of ramen--more than even he can eat, it seems. He's mostly finished with the cooking at this point, and is just letting it simmer for now. Despite the presence of all the food, he looks very distracted.]

[Eventually he takes a step back from the stove and just stands there with his arms folded, frowning as he stares at the pot of ramen.]

Should be enough for seven.

[He's silent for a long while. Then he sighs and shakes his head.]

What should I tell them? If it's Henrietta...

How could she be here?

[contract_star]

I've seen her here before. At least I think she said her name was Rico. You haven't seen her.

And Henrietta, are you sure you haven't gotten any new orders lately? About hunting people? It's important.

[...surprisingly, she doesn't look happy.] No, signore. I haven't seen her...

[She shakes her head.] None. Just normal assignments.

[He catches that.] Is everything alright?

[...Well, this is strange.] ...Alright. Thanks.
