“Will we meet again?”
The little girl quietly asked Toshi Ishii, next to her was 2 Thrak agents waiting for Sally to go with them.
They're in the apartment's hall wat with the storm outside as a background.
“ Hm? I don't know, what do you think?”
The boy asked.
Toshi was holding a phone and on the screen. It's Syd Barrett.
They're face-timing due to Sally's request.
“ I don't wanna go... Are you going to be okay?”
Although she didn't stay with them long, Sally knows that there're many dangers waiting for this group of people in the future. She can't help but worry.
Toshi put his hand on her head, rubbing.
“ I'll be fine. And he is fine too. We'll tell you as soon as we get your revenge on those bastards in the lab.”
Sally nods down.
“ [ Don't feel sorry, Brat. You even tried to steal my goddamn wallet once, remember, motherfucker? ] ”
The little girl can't help but laugh.
“ From now. We'll help you undercover. We'll give you a new identity in return. I assure you that you won't be tracked by those people ever again.”
“ [ Man, I afraid that this Brat will get educated.] ”
“ Isn't she suppose to get it? We'll get her educated too.”
“ [ Yes. Think about it. This Brat is just 10 years old and she's a pickpocket. Imagine how foxy she'll become if she gets educated.] ”
“ You're scared if she'll get better than you?”
“ [Nobody gets better than me, ask your mom.] ”
“ my WHAT”
The girl laughs even more.
“Je t’aime”
She then proceeds to kiss Toshi on a cheek then took his phone and kiss Syd Barrett on the screen before she gave it back.
She awkwardly turned around and went to the agents.
“ Au revoir! ”
Then the two agents gently stepped next to Sally, they hold her hand then they all blink away.
“.......”
They had gone.
“ What did she just say?”
“ [ I don't know. I don't speak Eiffel tower.] ”
Syd replied.
“ It means ‘I love you’ and ‘Goodbye’ in french.”
Mickey Mannix came up from behind with google translate.
“ Oh. Okay.”
“ Dawg. I mean, the girl really likes you though.”
Said Mickey.
“ She's just a kid. She doesn't know what she's doing. I mean, she just being honest, that's all.”
Toshi replied.
“ [ Yawns... Fuck. I'm tired as shit. I'll go now.]”
“ Want some good night kiss? ”
Asked Toshi.
“ [ Yes. On my ass.] ”
“ Haha. Just kidding... Unless?”
“ Lol so gay.”
“ [ Shut your dumb ass, you stupid little piece of Shit. ] ”
“ Fuck you, go back to your ricefields, and get fucked in the ass by an elephant.”
{From Toshi giggling in the back ground}
“ LMAO.”
Mickey then turns to him.
“ Shut the fuck up weeb.”
He said.
“ Aight... k.”
Toshi raises his hands.
“ [ Imma head out.] ”
The call with Syd Barrett ends.
“......”
“ Sleepy ass nig-”
But then Mickey got interrupted.
“ H-HEY!?... You guys heard it?!... The school! The school is being closed! ”
Seraphina had come up with the phone in her hand. She looks shocking.
“ Didn't we tell you that before?”
“ Yes...But still...”
“ Still what? Do you still doubt our authorities? ”
Asked Mickey.
“..... Not quite...”
“ Anyway. I'll leave now. Can I have your house's key?”
“ Now?”
“ Bruh, woman, It's almost midnight already.”
“ Oh...”
.
.
.
.
.
.
Time has passed for 2 hours. After Mickey and Sera left.
1: 50 A.M.
At Syd Barrett's house.
Ding!
Doesn't matter what that sound is.
No one even knows if it's the real sound or produced by imagination, but it does wake Jody up from her bed.
“????”
The girl got up from her bed, after a moment of breathing, She found that she had been covered by her own sweat as if she just had a nightmare.
She ain't even felt dizzy in her head too, this is weird.
It feels like having a full sleep while in the reality it's only passed like 2 hours.
“ What the...”
Suddenly, Jody heard a noise. It's a footstep from somebody outside the room.
*Step*... *Step*... *Step*
It was slowly proceeding. Hearing from here, Jody couldn't identify if it's a man or woman.
Jody quiet down for a moment, to clearly head things outside. Originally, it's already scarily silent at midnight at this house, but If she keeps listening to a bit more, she could probably tell whose it is.
Although the only choice she has is Syd Barrett and it needs to be him, otherwise it'd be a burglar since there're only two people living in this place.
*Step*...*Step*...*Step*...*Step*...
Stop.
The footsteps stopped in front of the door.
“......”
”......”
Knock. Knock. Knock.
!?
“ Someone is knocking the door from the outside? ”
While she's thinking, it knocks again.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
“......”
“ This isn't right...”
Jody slowly got out from the bed, not to let the person outside knows that she's awake.
Her instinct told her that there's something not right about this.
Syd never comes knocking silently on her door like this, even if he did, he'd probably shout out to wake her up or something.
He'd never stepped in the opposite sex's room even though this is his house.
The air bullets were summoned around Jody's finger.
She silently approached the door, the person outside is still knocking on it.
She needs to make sure ( and hope) that she's just overthinking, and it's Syd.
“ Syd? ”
The girl asked out.
However, the person on the other side didn't answer.
Instead, it's the voice of a woman...
Snickering.
“ Heh.”
Needless to say, 3 air bullets have been shot out from Jody's hand throughout the door.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The slivers flew up in the air after it was blown up by air bullets.
Jody stepped away from the door.
“ Shit! It's not Syd! There's someone in the house! ”
She quickly picked up her phone to call Syd.
Jody's first intention was that she wouldn't step outside her room because she couldn't identify that stranger, she didn't know who was it, and another thing is there may be more than one person or the woman outside may be waiting for Jody to come out.
“ I didn't even know whether that woman was armed or unarmed.”
But as she picked up her phone and calls to Syd, the woman's voice outside called out her name.
“ Jo~...dy~...”
Jody felt the intensity in that voice. Although it sounds jokingly, there's a lot of anger in it too.
*step*step*step*step*step*step*step*
The sound of footsteps quickly ran away from her room to the downstairs.
“ ?! Shit?!... Where's she going?! ”
There's no time left. That person may escape outta here.
So Jody has to open up the door.
But still, being aware of everything outside.
SLAMMED!
“......”
Nothing.
Outside, there's nothing in the walkway. And everything remains silent.
As if no one has ever stepped here.
“.....”
*step*step*step*step*step*step*step*
Jody heard the running sound went downstairs, but also, there's another sound either.
It's Syd's ringtone.
“??????”
That means the boy was also downstairs.
“ Damn it!”
Jody then quickly moved towards the stairs and did her best to get took the step down.
Because of her disease, she couldn't run or rush. Her legs may break if she didn't carefully watch her steps and it'll make the situation even worse.
“.......”
Jody finally entered downstairs and all she found was darkness.
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing wrong.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
She glared around to check the house, even around the corner carefully but didn't find anything.
*pant* *pant* *pant*
But as Jody glared her eyes to the couch.
She saw Syd Barrett was sleeping on it. But the point is not there.
It's the woman behind him.
[https://i.imgur.com/MkB7EIM.jpg]
“........”
Jody was completely frozen.
It's the redhead woman.
The same person Jody had encountered long ago.
And she knew...that thing is...not a human.
It's very dark. The only thing that stands out was her read hair. Other than that, Jody couldn't clearly see it.
The air in the room, it's filled with menacing.
She sees a woman covered her arms around Syd tightly. Even though she didn't say a single word but Jody can felt the threatening energy coming from her.
It's terrifying.
She stares at Jody with her “Green” eyes while hugging Syd tightly.
“ This woman.... Hey! Who are you?”
“........”
She pointed her finger at her, then asked again.
“ Hey! Who the hell are you! Let him go!”
“.........”
Jody didn't let her go from her sights, but she does remember where the switch is. So she quickly turns up the light.
Click!
As fast as the light appears, the woman is gone with the dark.
Left only the boy, who's got awaked by the light.
“ u..um...Hmmmppp?????... a..aaaaahhhh?!?!?!?? What in the fuck?”
Syd Barrett didn't cover his eyes or roll away because he thought someone has broke in the house so instead he springs himself up from the couch with a gun in his hand and pointed at the person standing next to the light switch.
He's an agent after all not just an ordinary kid.
“?!?!?!?!......”
“Jody? ... What the fuck are you doing there? What happened? Did someone break in the house?”
“.....”
Syd glares down, finding that he had 1 miss call from Jody.
“ Why did you call me? ”
“........”
“ I just accidentally broke the door...”
She replied.
“ WOT???... What- you WHAT??”
“ I heard footsteps in the house. I thought it was you. So I call you but you didn't answer. Well, my fault actually. It's 2 am after all...”
“ So you thought there's another person?”
“ It probably is.”
.
.
.
.
.
After carefully searching the house. This is now 3 am.
They found nothing. No traces of breaking in from the entrances. Nothing broke except the door which Jody did it.
“.... You're being paranoid right? ”
“......”
Jody wanted to tell him what she just saw. But if she told him all, Needless to say, he will consider it as bullshit. Or he may bring Jody to docter...that's even worse.
But Jody wouldn't like to lie or act as if there's nothing either. So she'll just keep a redhead woman detail with her.
“ I really heard footsteps in front of my room. First I thought it'd be my imagination. But I really heard it running down the stairs, I was gonna call to you but there's no time... so I followed it. As I get down and turned the lights on...there's nothing...that's strange...”
Said Jody.
That ain't the lie. She just skipped the part before she turned on the light a little bit.
“.......”
“ You blunt are you on girl. There's literally nothing in the house. Jody, you okay? ”
Syd grabbed Jody's shoulder.
“........”
At that moment. Jody remembered that time Roxxy had asked her if there's something weird happened recently.
“........”
Jody has decided.
She needs to talk face to face with Roxxy about this.
.

The next morning. At Seraphina Gilmour's house.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
The alarm clock from Sera's iPhone ringing from above her head.
The British girl rolls herself away from the sound like she didn't want to get up yet only after she realizes that she had a big mission to do today at Syd's house.
She then crawls towards the bed while still inside a blanket, randomly wavering her hand on the headboard to grab her phone.
*Click*
She stopped the ringing, then continued to sleep.
(... Only five more minutes...)
She thought.
Before she proceeds to continue sleeping, the iPhone rings again, this time no longer an alarm. Instead, it's Mickey Mannix's voice.
“ SLEEPY BITCH. GET THE FUCK UP. SLEEPY BITCH. SLEEPY BITCH. WAKE THE FUCK UP. THIS IS WHY NO ONE LIKES YOU.”
That made the girl instantly spring herself up.
“ WHAT the HELL?! ”
Sera grabbed the phone, swiping the screen.
“ This is Mannix's voice??? How??? I never record it??? What the fuck???”
Shortly after that, her phone screen turns blue lightning. Then Mickey Mannix popped out of it. Landing on the lamb desk next to her.
!!!!!!!?????
Sera screams in shock.
“ Mannix?! What the fuck are you doing??!! Fuck off!!! This is my room!!! ”
“ What the fuck I'm doing? I'm just helped you get up.”
He replied.
💢
“ I'VE LOCKED MY DOORS AND YOU STILL MANAGE TO COME IN??? MANNIX YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT!”
In fact, Sera did more than that. She even covered every outlet in her room with a plastic bag.
“ Yeah. But you left your phone in the toilet, remember? When you realized and came out to take it. That's where I got myself in.”
Mickey turns to this lamp, slightly slapping it.
“ I hide in this lamp.”
Sera hands shaking, she grabbed the blanket with anger so tight that she almost ripped it.
“ Mannix.... You....”
*Breathes in*
But just a moment before Sera's gonna spitting an essay, Mickey tapped his finger on her lips.
“ ....shhh.... Look. If I don't do it. Then we're gonna be late.”
“ I... SET MY ALARM. TO 7 IN THE MORNING! AND WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT 8 AND A HALF! HOW CAN WE BE LATE??? ARE YOU STUPID??? ”
“ We can be late if you take another nap. That'll drag you to like 8 and your estimated time of shower is half an hour. So...yeah... I may be stupid.”
?!?!
“WHAT... YOU... YOU WHAT???!!! YOU KNOW HOW LONG I TAKE A SHOWER??? YOU'RE PERVERT-”
“ Damn. Girl. Stop being a screaming machine. So annoying.”
💢💢💢
“ Or you're gonna refuse that you just paused the alarm and about to go for round 2 of sleeping?”
“........”
“ Tch.”
It's irritating. But can't argue back.
Sera took off the blanket. Then walked out of the room with Mickey following from behind.
Since Mickey always broke into her room, she now used the long pajamas instead of shorts. Kinda lesser exposing.
“ Next time you get in my room without my consent. I'm going to kick you out of my house.”
Said Sera.
“ What? You're changing to the subject? Hah! So you admit that I'm right heh?”
“ NO. YOU BREAK into MY ROOM! THAT'S THE POINT! ”
“ Shit. You're actually changing the subject. You admit you've lost an argument yes. Haha.”
“ MANIX YOU-“
Mickey covered his ears.
“ HOES MAD. HOES MAAAAAD.”
He sang.
“ I'M NOT. MAD.”
“ Don't care, didn't ask. Hoes mad.”
“ GOOD! Then you get kicked out! Get out of my house!”
“ HOES MAD. HOES MAD. HOES MAD.”
😡😡😡😡😡💢💢💢💢💢
With just a second, Sera couldn't control herself anymore.
She, with furious anger, turns around and punches Mickey in the face, she intended her fist to land right on his nose and breaks them, no worry, with her ability, she can fix it later.
But Mickey caught it in time, of course, he's skillful in fighting than her.
He grabbed her wrist.
“ Calm down. Calm down. Bruh, you do be mad doe.”
He gently slapped on her hand.
“ Think about it. If you kick me out, who gonna clean your house? and who'll wake you up in time? ”
“......”
He's got the point.
“ I don't have any problem with getting kick out though. Actually, I don't care. But let me speak this once. You're sloth as fuck. I have to wake you up like 3 times now and if we have a mission that needs to be on time. Well... You're gonna miss it. And probably... Syd would have crossed you out the list. And release your clip I don't know...”
“........”
He ain't threatening her. But Sera couldn't argue with that point he said.
“...... Tch....”
She's mad.
She said it short, rough, and angrily.
He's explaining to her the accurate facts of why she shouldn't kick him out of the house. And it's true in every way.
Since he's moved in, Sera's house is pretty much better than when she lived alone. She didn't even have to worry about her own room because Mickey has taken care of all places in the house by himself.
However, Mickey already knows she'd be like this. So he had prepared.
“ I have bought some cake from the store, I didn't tell you but I thought you may like it. So...”
“ What did you buy? ”
“ they called Red-Velvet or something. I don't know.”
Like a cat. If she had a tail, right now it'd be pointing up straight.
Red-Velvet is her favorite.
And she hasn't had that since she had joined this force.
The urge begins to rise within her body.
“........”
“.........”
The air around Sera changes.
“ So? ”
But she still acts nonchalant.
“ Well... If you don't like it. I'll throw them away. I don't like cake.”
“ Then throw it away.”
“ Alright...okay. Too bad, It's a kinda expensive doe. I bought from that store near your school like-”
!!!!????
The store near her school. It's the same place Sera always goes there looking for something to eat.
“.........”
“ Well...Well... Throwing it away would be such a waste of money... Hm?... So if... You don't want it. Then I'll have it.”
“........”
“ Okay.”
Mickey scratched his head.
Sera felt a bit awkward, but Red-velvet is Red-velvet.
.
.
.
.
.
After finished showering, faster than usual, Sera was working on makeup.
[https://i.imgur.com/dklxJi9.jpg]
Sigh.
Sera's like a grouchy old lady over Mickey Mannix. Sure he is better than the first day they met but his habit of being a dick around her still remains.
(... No one in my life ever does this to me...)
She thought.
( ... He's such a dick... Ugh...hate that guy... I should have just thrown a piece of glass inside his shirt and activate my power...)
“........”
But Sera knows that there's something strange about her.
She keeps asking herself often.
(... But why didn't I dislike him? )
“.........”
No matter how he frequently disturbs her, her temp only rises at that time. But it quickly drops down not for long after that.
(.... What in the hell is happening to me... Why am I like this...)
“.........”
Sera then starts to examine herself.
(... Do I like what he's doing? ...No. What will I do If he's just an ordinary person... Beat him till death. But why am I welcome him to live in my house?... That's right. Only to have someone clean up my house and make me breakfast...Only because they're blackmailing me, so I follow what he said...)
But does the blackmail tape is really making her nervous?
Sera realized.
Come to think of it. She almost completely forgets about the reason why she joined.
She cooperates with them only for Syd's offer to delete her video with father peter.
But the more time she's spending with them, the more she forgets about her objective.
Actually, she's forced to join. But now, she didn't feel like she's being forced at all.
They treat her normally like she's one of them.
And since she met Mickey Mannix, he sure does get under her nerve. But he always does it in a respectfully way.
He never insults her ability.
He never presses her down to make him stay above her.
He never shows off that he's better than her.
He never disrespects her.
In fact, many times he came up with the roast, he's actually showing Sera a different perspective of that topic they're debating.
Although he just said Hoes mad to her, only just to make 💢 on Sera's face. Which later disappear. That's all.
Even she said “ Hate that guy” but Sera knows... she does not hate him at all.
He's giving her something no one has ever done to her.
Is that he's always getting on her nerve
(... W...wait..)
But why did she let him do?
Why didn't she show him more sign that she does not like it.
Why did she keep the loops repeating?
Or is she actually like it to be this way?
(...... Oh god......)
When she imagines of Mickey Mannix's face, her heart starts to pound faster and faster.
“ OH G O D. Holy...Bloody... Fuck....”
(.... IMPOSSIBLE. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. NO. GOD PLEASE NO. NOOO... NOOOOOOOO.... NO WAY....THERE'S NO FUCKING WAY. SERA! WHAT THE FUCK???? REALLY? YOU'RE GONNA BE KIDDING ME OH, MY GOD.....)
She thought to herself.
“ Hey. You finish yet-”
“ GET THE FUCK OUT! ”
She turns to Mickey who's just opened the door and screams at him in her full voice.
“ Aight.”
Mickey instantly closed the door.
With his experience with his mom. He understands that men should never interrupt women while she's working on her makeup.
“ No. Sera. You're not like this.”
Sera said to herself in the mirror.
“ You must have some mental problem if you actually like him.”
She said.
.
.
.
.
.
30 minutes later.
[https://i.imgur.com/eZGsNaf.jpg]
Mickey and Sera were walking on the street of London, on their way to Syd Barrett's house.
“ What is that ”
Seraphina's eyes noticed a group of rally holding a sign on the opposite side of the street, saying ‘Free Palestine’ and some of the protestors shouting at the police.
It made her realized... The boy next to her is half Israel.
But on that street, it's Palestinian people.
She knew a history between these 2 countries for just a few that they don't like each other. So she thinks it'd be a great time to ask it from Israel boy himself.
Because she had seen the rally going on for a while.
“ Hey... Isn't that Palestinian.”
She asked.
Mickey takes a look at them, before turns to her.
“ Yes. They are.”
“ I heard Israel and Palestine don't like each other. Is that true?”
“ Woah. What the fuck you just ask. This is a sensitive topic....”
He continued.
“ I just wanna know how you think about it. You're born in Israel. ”
“......”
“ Generally...probably... yeah... Since 1947, Israel kinda like claimed most of Palestine to itself you know...just like what Chinese does to asian but lower.”
Mickey said.
“ But I kinda don't care about it. I can live anywhere on earth, Honestly, I don't care at all how it would turn out. You know...those politics and shit and ass... If you wanna do something that does not bother me. Then go for it. I don't care... BUT-”
Suddenly, his voice rises.
“ THE problem is those bastards in my country ( Israel ) this fucking government keeps stealing lands and shit. And you know the consequences?
Those mother fuckers-”
When he mentioned ‘ Those motherfuckers’ Sera knew he meant
Syd Barrett and Toshi Ishii.
Their trolling face appeared in Sera's head while Mickey speaks from the depth of his heart. It's like he had wait for this moment all along. The moment he's able to speak things he had been kept.
“ THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS Keep sending me shits about Israel. And It's FUCKING ANNOYING.”
“ What do you mean? ”
Mickey showed her his phone.
[https://i.imgur.com/be0vEcj.jpg]
[https://i.imgur.com/GzVvM4g.jpg]
“.......”
She's stunned.
Are the boys laughing at something like this? What's the joke? This is weird.
“ What kind of humor you guys are into? I don't understand... Since the first day,... I don't understand at all... What is this? Where's the funny?”
“......”
“ It's complicated.”
.
.
.
.
.
Arriving at Syd Barrett's house.
Knock Knock.
The person who opened the door is Jody Johanson.
“ Good timing. Syd is about to make something.”
She said.
“ What is it? ”
Asked Sera.
“ He said fried rice.”
Sera eyes widely opened.
“ Fried rice?!... Wow! Really?!...”
“ Why so excited?”
Asked Mickey.
“ 'cause I never have fried rice before!”
She said.
Getting into the house, Roxxy was already here. She's sitting in the living room.
Mickey split from her and went into the living room.
Seraphina puts her handbag down and goes right into the kitchen. Because she never sees how fried rice was cooked before.
Coming in, Syd was there. Toshi is next to him. But the more exciting thing Sera didn't expect is he used the gas stove. Not the induction stove like her house.
“ Wow! ”
“ What the?” Syd turns at the girl.
“ Are you really cooking fried rice! ”
“ Yes. I'm about to start.”
He replied.
“ I never see it. Can I watch? ”
“ Uh...yeah?”
After he replied. Jody who's following behind Sera asked Syd a question.
“ Why are you using fire? I see your house also has an induction stove.”
“ I don't like induction stove. It's not satisfying to use.”
He said.
“ Fried rice is the easiest food to do but the hardest to make it delicious.”
Toshi added.
Glaring next to the wide pan, Sera saw a bowl of rice.
“ *Big gasp* A rice! Oh my god! ”
They understand that Sera rarely has Asian food and it's really rare. Because she said she afraid if she'll get diarrhea.
“ I heard it's very complicated to make. Is it true? ”
Sera asked.
“......”
Both Syd and Toshi looked at each other in the eye before they looked back at two white girls.
“ No? We have a rice cooker over there.”
Toshi pointed at the corner of a kitchen. The plugged rice cooker was there.
“ Woah! This is real! ”
“ Yeah. When he said he'll cook fried rice. I thought he'll cook rice in a pot.”
Said Jody.
“ Pfft-! A POT? Don't be ridiculous Jody. We are not white people. We have our technology.”
Syd said while cracking eggs open.
“ White people always make things complicated when it comes to cooking. Here. I'll tell both of you how to make rice. No need to measure anything much. First, you put rice in a bowl. Rinse that shit. Then you add water in until if flood above the rice like...”
He lifted up his index finger with his thumb pointing at the first joint.
“ see this finger? See this index finger? See this first joint? This is the most perfect amount of water to make your rice. Then let the rice cooker do the job. That's it. No need to do a bullshit calculation. It's ridiculously complicated.”
“ Yeah. But I made it since I was born...so now I can estimate the amount of water. However, if the rice turns out to be too wet or too hard. You fuck up. Go make a new one. There's no way to fix it. And you'll get your ass beaten if Asian mom found out you failed to cook the rice.”
Toshi added.
“ Really? So that is the original way to cook the rice? ”
Asked Jody.
“ See the world map? See china? Yeah. Around china until above Australia. We all cook rice like that.”
Syd answered.
“ So... The BBC food was a lie all along...”
Sera was shocked.
“ Yes. It is. They have some bull shit ass cup measure the amount of rice. Man, just use this finger this god damn finger. first joint.”
Syd said with frustration.
“ There's another thing we don't understand about white people too. Like 99% of their cooking videos, they all have measuring tools like teaspoon tablespoon and shit and ass. You know, like bruh they made things look 10 times harder than it is.”
Toshi said.
“ So what do Asian use?”
Sera asked.
“ The Power of Estimation.”
Syd said.
“ I'll keep pouring until I hear my ancestor's spirit whisper to me like ‘That's enough son’.”
Toshi said.
“ Is this Japanese rice? ”
Jody asked, picking a bit of rice up to bowl.
“ I've tried various types of rice to make this thing. I found that Japanese rice is the best way to go. No bias, it's better than Thai rice.”
Syd said, putting a brown seasoning sauce in the egg.
“ Actually, I use overnight leftover rice than this freshly cooked. But since we didn't make it yesterday. So...yeah.”
Toshi said, handing Syd a wooden spatula.
“ This is the best ingredient, behold.”
Syd brought something out under the table.
“.... What is that?”
Jody asked.
“ Msg.”
“And what's that brown thing you put in?”
Asked Sera.
“ Asian seasoning sauce. And garlic too. We like garlic. We treat garlic like money. Never enough.”
Toshi said.
“We don't use just salt and pepper like you white people. It's bland as fuck. I've cooked both western and Asian food. And I'll say that western food, if not desert, it's fucking bland to me.”
Said Syd.
“ Because I can't eat much spicy. It'll hurt my nostril.”
Said Sera.
“ Pathetic.”
Said Syd.
“ WHAT-” 😡
“ It also hurts my tongue. In America, we have tabasco... But the spiciness is completely different from that spicy soup you made.”
Jody mentioned that time Syd made everyone Thai food.
“ Why do White people not like flavor food, man. I see them put salt and pepper in a bland steak and be like yum yum. While I'm like dipping it 20 meters under the BBQ sauce to make things getting more flavor. They do be allergic to everything too.”
Said Syd.
“ You're exaggerating.”
Said Jody, sighing.
“ He always has been,” said Toshi, slapping his pal's shoulder.
“Who're you siding with?”
“ Of course, it's you.”
Toshi then proceeds to slap Syd's ass.
“ Gay.”
Said Syd.
“ No homo.”
“ Understandable. I won't count that.”
