The final file was a series of sketches for a banquet meant for his classmates. It wasn’t just food; it was a psychological menu. He had designed a spicy ramen specifically for Akane’s bottomless stomach, a delicate tea-infused gelatin for Sonia, and—surprisingly—a simple, perfectly toasted ham sandwich for Hajime.
