「Hello,

   My name is Zest. In this world that is…

   When I was in my senior year of high school I got summoned to another world…

   I was immediately asked my name, and in my disarray I could only answer with

   the activity I was last doing. Zest. Yes, I had been adding lemon zest to the seasoning

   of the chicken I was making for dinner, and for such a reason it ended up as my

   name. At a certain point, I no longer cared to correct. Ironically, the lemon and the

   zester were the only objects that got transported with me to this world other than

   shined. It was so bright that my vision was blinded. I winced inside, and may have made

   an “Hnnmmgh” sound. But that wasn’t so important, as was after the fact of when I opened

   my eyes again Noah was gone. My son!」

「…

   My name is Henry. I was bonding with my son, Noah, while we made dinner together.

   Tonight’s dinner was to be baked herb lemon chicken breast with steamed

   vegetables. My wife has recently banned bread from the house in an effort to lose

   weight. It is only what must be done that the family as a whole take part as well.

   For me, I am fine eating solely raw vegetables, so I won’t complain. But Noah has

   been quite upset over the matter this whole week. Somehow it devolved into our

   making dinner so no one will complain about it. While I was washing some of

   the vegetables in the sink, a bright light flashed behind my back; it reflected off of the

   splash-board. I heard Noah say something, but I can no longer recall what. When
