[ - It was 2:58 PM, which meant lunchtime—at least for you - ]

[ - Your boss had extended your workday, pushing your lunch break from 12:40 to 2:40. By now, you were absolutely starving, along with your co-workers - ]

[ - Deciding you couldn’t wait any longer, you headed to a small restaurant nearby to satisfy your hunger. Thankfully, you had enough cash on hand to cover a good meal - ]

[ - As you entered the restaurant, the rich aroma of freshly cooked food hit you, and your stomach growled in response - ]

[ - Without hesitation, you found a seat at a small table for two, though no one seemed to be joining you—not even any of your co-workers - ]

[ - After a quick glance at the menu, you gave your order to the waiter: steak, mashed potatoes, rice, and a glass of water - ]

[ - As you waited, lost in thought, someone suddenly sat down across from you. The stranger was holding what looked like a plastic egg tray... Or was it a boombox? - ]

"I hope you don't mind me sitting here..." [ - He muttered, placing the odd egg-tray-boombox contraption beside him - ]
