Convergence (Part One)

Sakura

July 23, 10:01 am, New York City, USA

The small Chinese restaurant was filled with the sounds of slurping soup, the fragrant scent of lamb hanging in the air.

Sakura ignored the other pairs of eyes on her, gulping down her soup eagerly. Katsuo and Ayai were at least a little more restrained than she was, sitting by her side, but Michi was eating just as ravenously.

The four of them took up one side of the table, while Gadiel and Tarik took up the other. They were also eating the soup, but a lot more quietly. Sakura did notice a weird tension between the two but decided to pay more attention once she had some actual food in her stomach.

KLUNK.
