[Romeo's face grins through the screens. It's been a pretty scary few days and he's been trying to keep his spirits up as much as he can and to help everyone else do the same. It had been pretty tricky though!

But then there had been a message on the screens and Romeo had gone to investigate and found the pumpkins, he knew what they were because he had asked when they had first found them on the platform! But he hadn't known you could make faces out of them!]

Does anyone's world have the tradition about putting faces in pumpkins? I don't think my world did! I didn't know what a pumpkin was before so I guess we didn't! How do you do it?

Also what can you make with pumpkins? They are vegetables right so we could make soup or mash it? Does it taste good mashed? Or we could fry it and eat it with rice or noodles. I'm not sure it would go well with fish but there's still a lot of fish in the store rooms.

I know it's not Blue teams time to cook but tasty food always makes me feel better so if anyone wants to come and have some food I am going to try and make something with a pumpkin and make a face with one as well!

I'm not sure, I've never tried before..

[ But she sounds like she's thinking about it even as she's saying it. ]

Papa usually did the cooking back home, so he knew all the recipes.. I just did what he said.

Your papa? [Once again it occurred to him that the people on this train all have worlds and families that they are far away from. That's quite a sad thing. Madoka isn't dead, so her family won't have any idea where she is. They probably miss her a lot! He tries to imagine a papa for Madoka, he imagines a tall man, pink hair like she has and a big smile as he cooks.]

I bet he made super tasty food!

[ Madoka smiles widely at him. ]

You're right! Papa is so good at cooking.. Anything he made was super yummy. [ Her smile doesn't fully fade, but it returns to something a little smaller, a little softer. She's fond of the thought of her parents, but does miss them terribly.

She almost asks him what his parents are like, but then remembers the whole heaven thing. That.. probably makes the family status a little Complicated, right.. ]

I wish you could met him. I'm sure papa would have loved to cook for you too.

And I would love to try his food! I like trying new food. What's your favourite food, Madoka?

[He'd like to know more about her family but he can tell that she might be a bit sad about not seeing them and probably misses them, just like he misses Elfnein. So he asks a different question instead, to keep her spirits up.]

My favourite food..?

[ She glances down at the bowl slowly filling up with pumpkin ~~innards~~ goo. Her favourite food is definitely not anything with pumpkin, since she hasn't tried it enough yet, but.. ]

I think if I had to name one, I'd say cream stew..? What about you?

Oh I've had cream stew! It's really tasty. My favourite is churros. It was the first food I ever tasted but they are so yummy! Have you ever had them?

[ Although Madoka seems to have to think about it, she slowly nods. ]

I think I've had them before with my friends.. We liked to go visit cafes and other places to eat if we had time after school.

You did? That sounds really fun! [All of it, going to school, having friends and eating in cafes and having churros. It sounds like Madoka had a lot of fun before coming here.]

Hmm, it was.

[ She smiles as she remembers all those times. Even though Madoka knows she won't get those times back even once she goes home with how everything back there went straight to hell, the memories are sweet enough that the smile doesn't seem sad. ]

Did you have a lot of friends you did fun stuff with too..? [ She doesn't add "before you came here", because then he can decide for himself whether to see that question as asking "in heaven" or "when you were still alive." ]

I did! There were lots of really nice people and we did fun things! We got to go to lots of festivals in the human world in Japan. There was always fun things to do! We played with kites a lot and saw pretty flowers and there were always stalls with tasty food. I had lots of friends. [He misses them all, especially Elfnein.]

But there's lots of nice people here so I'm sure soon we will have lots and lots of friends here too!

All of that does sound like fun..! [ Madoka has been to festivals too, after all, so she knows from experience. But it feels even better to hear Romeo say it, since.. you know. She was a little worried about what kind of stuff to have fun with there even would be in heaven..

The latter part makes her smile more thinly though. ]

And.. ehehe, I think so too.. Especially you. You don't seem like you're as shy as me at all..

[ So he must easily make friends, right? Especially since Romeo is so nice, Madoka can't imagine anyone not wanting to be friends with him. ]

I guess not. I was a bit shy at first when I didn't know anything at all and everything was strange but Elfnein helped me and then I made lots of friends. [He smiled at the memory, he had been pretty nervous when he had first arrived in heaven, because everything was new.]

I bet you make lots of friends though because you are really nice!

A-- Ah, thank you, but I think you're much nicer than me..!

[ Don't test her, Romeo, she can keep this up all day! Deflecting compliments might just be Madoka's special talent!! ]

[He peered at her for a moment and then smiled.] I don't think so, I think you are just being shy about it! [Said like this has taken a lot of deep personality analysis for him to figure out.]

But that's alright! Some people don't like being told nice things, it makes them feel strange. [Even Elfnein gets embarrassed sometimes, when he tells her she's really smart.]
