"I know perfectly well that people would do anything to put a plate of food like this on their table. Some might even resort to robbery just to feed themselves and their families. I'm not blind to the reality of this world."
Heena looked at the two of them before continuing.
"And if I don't have this food tomorrow, then fine. I'll survive on whatever I can find. I'll figure something out when the time comes. But if I have the ingredients today, then I'm going to cook them and eat properly. Why should I starve myself today worrying about tomorrow?"

"And you?"
Ren looked up, startled.
Heena pointed at the empty space in front of him. "Why the heck is there no egg in front of you?"
Ren was stunned.
He had no idea how to answer that question.
