“The soup? Yes of course.” Sangre stated while the bagel was toasting. Josh went over and grabbed the bowl of soup, placing it in the microwave in order to heat it up again. The tea was a bit cold, so as Sangre was about to go and grab it, he stopped when he heard Akira.
Josh knew that voice, and right away he told the chef what to do. “Let Akira heat up his tea. Go ahead Akira.” He said with a soft smile, trying to comfort him since he knew that look and that tone of voice too well. “If you cant heat it up, you can make a totally new one. We have a lot of bags of tea so don’t think you’re burdening us. Please.” Josh said, tempted to just go over and hug Akira but he knew he had to try and speak with him first.
