Dustin's smile froze for a moment before he gestured towards the plate of dumplings, "Have some more, you've been looking thinner lately."

"Rad still cares about you, making that soup under my mom's name," Dustin remarked.

I gave a wry smile, "Better late than never, but still not worth much."

The soreness in my mouth affected my appetite, so I packed up the leftover dumplings and soup. "Dustin, thanks for coming all this way. Please tell your parents I'll visit them once I'm less busy."

I gestured towards the amusement park, "There's less than a month until the deadline, and the lighting isn't even set up yet. It's really hectic."
