They both sat down at the table, Ryo took a leisurely sip of his coffee, savoring the rich flavor. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the room, mingling with the sweet smell of pancakes and the hearty scent of baked beans. Sachiko, still feeling the weight of the morning's events, served him with a mixture of nervousness and apprehension.
Ryo glanced at the pancakes and baked beans, nodding appreciatively as he took his first bite. He savored the taste, giving a satisfied hum. His eyes then turned to Sachiko, who was seated across from him, her hands nervously clasped in her lap.
"I must say," Ryo began, breaking the silence, "the breakfast is quite good. You've done well."
Sachiko offered a tentative smile, her eyes downcast. She was still processing the fact that she was being treated with a semblance of normalcy after the recent events.
