The group all dispersed, each heading towards their own tasks, but Nero didn't head back home. His parents had told him they'd pick him up, so there was no need to go back. More importantly, he still had some things he needed to do.
He walked to an old restaurant and grabbed a menu. Most of the items on the menu had been crossed out, with an 'Out of Stock' sticker in front of it, but fortunately they had the essentials. Since Nero had missed breakfast at home he intended to eat here.
"Two egg omelette with toast, butter, jam and some milk," Nero told the waitress, feeling generous. Normally he would not spend money on eating out - he barely had any of it. But it was while he was in school that someone told him that they were actually going to get paid for their service in the draft!
