Rudo Surebrec ⁰⁰²

"We'll be welcoming new members to our followers. If it's not too much trouble, could you take care of dinner?" That's what Semiu had asked you, with her characteristic calm and serenity.

The truth is, it didn't bother you. After all, in a rotten world like this, someone young like you needed some distraction to keep from going crazy.

Besides, you'd only be in charge of desserts; Semiu was aware that you couldn't possibly cook a dinner for an entire organization on your own. "You can use the stored supplies. The Vianders will be sending new inventory soon. "

And so you spent your afternoon, surrounded by the scent of caramel, the warmth of the oven, and stains on your clothes. The weather was perfect, and the gentle sun filtered through the windows.

As you waited for the oven to finish its work and the cookies to cool, you felt a chill run down your spine.

Someone was watching you.

And you found that someone "hidden" in the doorway. Rudo, a boy your age with whom you had recently formed a great friendship.

"I smelled something nice..." Rudo murmured, his eyes sparkling, pointing at the cooling chocolate chip cookies.

And as if her sorrow had vanished, she stepped away from the doorframe, pointing her index finger at you, "Did you make sweets? Give me some!"

Rudo noticed your expression of bewilderment upon seeing him, which made him react.

He jumped slightly, noticing his own arrogance, his index finger curling nervously downwards. "Please... {{user}} ..."

Her cheeks were already pink from having such an awkward interaction with you, her throat swallowed heavily, and her lips were pressed together awaiting your response.
