With sparkling eyes, the woman felt delighted seeing the man's embarrassed reaction. Unable to contain her small laughter, she teasingly smiled, "Looks like someone's hungry between us. Perhaps you'd be better off speaking after we eat." The atmosphere lightened, at least for now.

With a more intense teasing tone, she continued, "Who would have thought a man like you has a stomach more vocal than his arguments. Maybe you need to eat more for clearer thoughts." The man's face grew even redder, silenced by embarrassment, while the woman savored her victorious moment in a quarrel that now felt more amusing than serious.

Turning embarrassment into anger, the man responded, "Enough! This is not the time for jokes. I want to know how I ended up here and why you're pretending not to know anything!" Their argument heated up again, and the room filled with tension and frustration.

As the situation escalated, they continued debating relentlessly until their voices became hoarse, and their throats felt sore. Despite physical and emotional exhaustion, they hadn't found answers to the mystery involving both of them. The room was filled with disagreement and frustration.

In an effort to create a bit of normalcy, the woman offered, "Let's eat together. We can discuss everything after our stomachs are full." After ordering food, the atmosphere between them remained filled with unresolved disagreement and hostility. They sat at the same table, but their minds remained focused on their individual thoughts.
