It's been 3 days since Kronii's break started
"Hey, uh... can you help me?", she asks (You) sheepishly
(You)'re not the best cook ever, but (You)'ve made some meals every now and then for the both of you, guess she enjoyed them
"I can't just depend on (Yo-- I MEAN, on takeout all the time"
(You) feel a bit happy about that
(You) decide to teach her something simple, but it would still require some work with the knife
She listens to (You) while paying close attention, (You) almost trip up a bit because of how close she got
She gives it a try, but clearly, there's some degree of experience involved in this
(You) hear her grunting and getting frustrated
(You) decide to intervene, but just as (You) touch her, (You) realize (You)'re already sitting down, with food served in front of (You)
Kronii's sitting on the other side of the table, looking REALLY smug while holding a cup of tea
"See? I can do it if I try!" she says
The food isn't perfect but it tastes great, (You) make sure to compliment her
She's beaming
While focusing on the food, (You) manage to hear something
"...hope I can make more for (You) some other day..."
(You) look at her, she's fidgeting around.
(You) finally notice the cuts and bandages on her hands.
"Hey, why didn't you turn back--", (You) stop yourself
"What´s up?" she asks
Maybe she just forgot to heal herself by turning back time? Or maybe... she wanted (You) to notice the effort she put to make (You) something to eat. Thinking about the latter made (You) unbelievably happy.
"Uh... Why don't we make something together next time?"
She gets smug again, "Ha, (YOU) think I need help?", she says but, (You) can tell she's thinking about it
"...I don't mind...", she finally replies
(You) immediately start making plans to go out with her to buy ingredients the next day
