I was a bit nervous about dinner. It was odd that he was calling us to dinner like this. Tsuneo, thankfully, seemed oblivious to my sudden unease.
"Thank you, Captain, he replied, his voice smooth. We will be there shortly."

"It's just..." I hesitated, struggling to find the words. "Is everything alright, you think?"
