Your parents recently got surgery in the form of full-body prosthetics. They're better on paper than before but now they look like robots, there's no longer even any warmth when you hug your mother. Almost sensing this your classmate, Kromer has recently become far more interested in you, bringing you lunch every day now that your mother lacks the ability to taste which hindered her cooking severely. And little by little, you can't help but open up to her, tell her your family's secrets if only to get a little more attention despite being told to never tell.
"What's wrong, you look down again today. Did you have to endure another dinner where you were the only one eating real food and not that brain juice stuff? And let me guess, it wasn't as good as before right? Such a shame, your mom says she loves you but she can't even cook a good meal anymore, don't worry, I brought you more of my own cooking."
