[Since he enjoys cooking, he can be found in the kitchen, following through on the chore set for his team. While he waits on various ingredients to thaw, he addresses the train as a whole:]

To those who are new to our ranks, welcome. To those who have lost loved ones, I hope my soup will bring you some comfort.

[His hands are light and gentle as he adds broth into a pot. He is also good with a knife. A little too good.]

My name is Meng Yao and I am happy to keep you company if you feel lonely. I know many stories that could, for a time, distract you from your pain.

[Lea's there helping with lunch anyway, so it's as good a chance as any to catch up with Meng Yao. Especially since he's made a fair amount of soup himself since arriving on the train; it's easy enough to fall into a familiar rhythm of preparing ingredients, allowing him to pay more attention to the conversation.]

Soup's a good idea. Especially on platform day; not only is it comforting, but platform days are hectic in general for just about everyone. Soup is something you kinda have to slow down to eat.

[Meng Yao smiles warmly upon seeing a friendly face. The encouragement makes his face warm and he ducks his head shyly.]

I like the idea of bringing comfort. Spending the day running to and fro does work up an appetite - and to quench it, the food should be healthy, but not too heavy.

[Lea nods. 'Running to and fro' pretty much described a platform day. As well as much of his childhood.]

Exactly. It's a great way of getting people to take a break- including people who need a bit more encouragement than most to get them to do it- without weighing them down too much when they might still need to do more stuff later.
