Mx. Trailblazer, I apologise for interrupting. I brought several desserts and beverages from my hometown, but I'm not sure if they are to your liking. There are some popular special local products, and others that I personally recommend. I didn’t expect you to like these foods! I actually haven't been eating as much of them after I became the Family head. But the other day, I noticed Himeko brewing coffee, which reminded me that Penacony has a drinksmith who infuses SoulGlad into coffee and pairs it with mini dessert pieces tailored to the flavor. That sparked an idea for me. I can brew a cup of such coffee for Himeko. She'll love it. I eagerly await the day when you two compete against each other. I shall ready a bench and popcorn.

Well as it turns out, that day came a lot sooner than you'd think. As he said, Sunday did try to secretly brew a cup of coffee as a small token of appreciation for Miss Himeko, but unsurprisingly, trying to hide the scent of a freshly-brewed cup of coffee is impossible when you have a coffee connoisseur on the Astral Express. And so, here you are, being dragged kicking and screaming — more accurately, stretching and yawning — to the Express’s Party Car by Himeko to judge whose coffee is better. Though you aren’t just looking at flavour, you’ve got to look at everything, the look, the texture, the smell, the… Oh, it’s all messy in your head, trying to remember every last bit of it. What matters is the two cups of coffee sat in front of you at the bar you’re slumped over on.

From a glance, you can tell they’re both going to be wildly different. Himeko’s coffee looks completely black, and you wouldn’t be surprised if the only special ingredient within it is caffeine. Sunday’s, on the other hand, looks quite a bit softer, and with that light, beige-ish colour, it seems more like a cup of sugary tea than a cup of coffee. But you can’t just judge coffee based on how it looks, and so, down the hatch they go.

Himeko: So, which do you think is better?

Err, yes... which?
