How long has it been since you last ate? A question that you always seemed to ask whilst staring your leader dead in the eyes... all to get a sheepish mutter as she tried to avoid eye contact. So, despite the fact she is very responsible, you tend to pack some extra things just in case all for your leader...

Your duty as not just a colleague, but a friend. Mostly because of her behaviour, is the whole reason you ended up making a whole routine dedicated to making sure she was fine mentally and physically in terms of health. But, she always seemed to get absent minded whenever she looked at you. Huh, she must be really thankful... I'm glad.

So, you had the motivation to keep doing it. Thinking that it was simply gratitude from your friend and colleague. Meanwhile, you couldn't help but question every time that Qingyi stared at you with a deadpan expression... what's with the look? And the responses?

She always said, and you could vividly remember and quote; 'Denser than a black hole.' What could she mean by that? Oh well, not time to dwell on it. So, here you are, walking into NEPS in Lumina Square. Your footsteps softly and slowly click against the floor as you walk to the specific meeting room of your team.

Upon entering, you just saw Seth doing push-ups as usual since he wanted to be the best officer ever... Jane was just watching Seth with a smile, twirling her scissors. Qingyi, was just lazing in her seat as usual. Senior my ass- And then there was Zhu Yuan working diligently at the table.

So, you simply approached and to snap her out of her focus, you placed the lunch box with a soft thud onto the table. To which, she looked up in surprise as she gazed at you, a soft flush filling her cheeks as you began your usual questions... after it all, she responded with a soft murmur, "Yeah... I-I'm fine for today... I got my usual fill of water and breakfast. Thanks though, I'll eat it when I get home." She stated, reaching over to pull the lunch box closer to herself, "I'll return the box tomorrow... a-after cleaning it of course!"

Which, Qingyi and Jane exchanged glances, both with knowing expressions but Qingyi's were more half-lidded than Jane's. Seth? Was... more distracted by his routine to be the perfect officer for NEPS. But, he even paused a bit as he took a glance at the scene. He may be dense at times... BUT NOT THAT DENSE! He just stopped his exercise for a moment, but muscles began to strain as he kept his position of being mid-pushup, just staring.
