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

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

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."

"Rad told me, but you need to take care of yourself," Dustin advised.
