And I don't want you to have to deal with it again.

[Okay, time to mix the sugar and vanilla into the milk--]
I can't do much right now, Kanji... I know that. I know my voice and face is like Narukami's, and that's enough sometimes to make things... uncomfortable.
[He's seen those double takes, those half starts before Kanji remembers, see's the horn, remember it's Souji Seta, not Yu Narukami. It's painful, but he knows his kouhai can't help it.]
Cooking and baking... I learned how to do it because my parents were gone so much, and I got sick of eating premade, instant things. But I never realised just how lonely it was to cook and eat only for yourself until I started making lunch for you all.
[He smiled, though it was almost... wistful. Aching for days gone by and days hopefully to come, all at once.]
Those were some of my favorite memories. And you always seemed so happy whenever I brought along something you'd like, so... I wanted to give you this, at the very least.
