1. [Doing some paperwork? Fixing a robot? Maybe paying a visit to the loo?
Whatever it is you are doing, you might (or might not) be surprised that there is someone watching you intently, and she isn't even being sneaky about it. She's also a new addition to the Unity Group.]
...
[Maybe it's getting uncomfortable for you. But it doesn't look like she's leaving anytime soon.]
2. [This is a moment that requires undivided attention on Fyra's part, and that means trying to eat some ramen with chopsticks.]
...
[Only, she has each stick held in a different hand and is trying to poke her way through her meal, with little success.
You may have heard that as a machine, she actually does not require food. So why is she even bothering?]
3. [A terrible event has just passed. You're under the weight of it, and you're taking some time to cool down or let it out, when suddenly...]
...How does it feel?

What are you doing? You intend to finish your ramen this week, don't you?

[The look Chris is getting in return is what someone would give if they just got called out for doing nothing wrong.
At least the poking has stopped.]

It's a good thing those chopsticks are not the type that come glued together.]
no subject
Agh... now, listen here.
[Must be a foreigner. A very foreign (or thick) one. Definitely not a humanoid robot or anything like that.]
The thing is, you hold these both together in one hand like this, and try to grab the food between the chopsticks. Got it?
1/2
But, not easily deterred, Fyra tries to mimic Chris' actions...]
2/2
Progress.]

[Chris snaps her own chopsticks deftly, and grabs a strand of the ramen noodle...
Which promptly escapes the grasp and messily plops down on the table.]
...
no subject
[Well, still assuming that Chris is instructing her, Fyra tries to do the same. But with her chopsticks held like that, she can't even get the noodles past the rim of the bowl.
Deciding to take a break for a moment, she puts the sticks down and uses her fingers to take the strands of noodles that Chris left on the table. Munch, munch.]

[Fyra is greatly surprised by this.
So surprised, in fact, that she has to confirm something by asking.]
...For me?
no subject
Who else? There's just us two at the table and I am not eating anything. It's better than making a mess everywhere, alright?
no subject
...Thank you.
[Using this is...a lot easier than chopsticks, that's for sure.
She still isn't very good with it, despite how simple this should be. But the food is going where it's supposed to, and that's the most important thing.]

[Charlotte has gotten the blood cleaned off, but she's just sort of picking at her dinner.]
no subject
I...lack understanding of it.
no subject
...When you lose a precious thing, or a friend moves away...it's something like that. But much, much worse.
no subject
So, it remains a mystery to me.
no subject
...The feeling from today...It's like having a fork stabbed into your heart, and twisted around. It's a feeling of powerlessness, guilt...and thinking about it makes the fork twist a bit more.
Does that answer your question?
no subject
This sounds...completely different from what I am feeling now.
Watching you and the others, I do not know what to do. I am not in pain, or powerless...yet I wish I could do more.
The more I think about it, the more I feel I should be doing something.
no subject
Um, if that's the case, then...Try to be patient with people, and listen to them. Just having someone to talk to can help...
no subject
[And now she goes completely quiet, but looks like she's expecting something.]
