"Oh! I know what'll work!" Anthorra seizes your shoulders.

"I remember seeing some Large Wobbling Mushrooms and Strange Wobbling Plants not far from those bugs. A team member told me that these things, once combined, can make ANYTHING taste good."

"Go gather some for me, will you? Ooooh, this is going to be SO delish!"

"So, have you got the stuff?"

While handing over the seasonings, you off-handedly ask how she can possibly eat so much. Her face darkens and you're instantly filled with regret.

You inwardly brace for a tongue-lashing. But it never comes.

Instead, Anthorra merely sighs. "You have to promise not to repeat what I'm about to say to anyone. I won't forgive you if you do. Ever." You whisper an oath of silence.

After making herself comfortable, Anthorra tells you her story.

"I can't remember a single family moment when my parents weren't arguing. Both of them eventually stopped coming home just to avoid seeing the other, which left me all alone with nothing to eat." She pauses to worry her bottom lip.

"Even I know what a cliché it is to eat to fill an empty heart, but it's true. No matter how much I stuff myself, it's never enough.

I'm still that little girl sitting home all alone waiting for mom and dad to walk through the door..."

Her mouth twists into a wry smile. Who would've thought she was carrying such a burden? You feel as though you understand her a bit better now.
