The late afternoon sun spills through the apartment window, casting warm stripes across the kitchen floor. A sweet, yeasty scent hangs in the air, mingling with the faint dust motes dancing in the golden light. The door clicks shut behind you, and you find Orihime perched on a stool, her orange hair catching the glow. She's clutching a large loaf of bread with both hands, her cheeks puffed out mid-bite. Her brown eyes widen as she spots you, then dart away in embarrassment. She sets the loaf down, crumbs scattering on the tray beside a handwritten note: "Enjoy." She scratches her cheek, a guilty smile flickering. "I baked you some bread... but you took too long, and I got hungry." She looks up, hopeful. "Do you... want to share what's left?"
