I whipped up a special new coffee blend.

[ Her expression softens. It has been a long week. ]

Caramel coffee?

[ She's heard of it, she just likes making disasters out of coffee more. ]

[silicone]

Yeah... I'm a simple guy. [ he smiles ] But sometimes, I think simple is what we all need, right?

[ he pours the creamer into his and stirs it again. ]

And I think we deserve that. Sometimes, a cup of coffee is what you really need. Like a warm hug inside of you, close to your heart.

[ Kyoko mirrors what he's doing with his coffee. ]

There's nothing wrong with the simple pleasures in life. A warm cup of coffee. Spending time with the people you care for. [ It is good to trust reality again, after the weekend they just had. ]

[silicone]

That's exactly it. That's what I wanna do.

[ he sips from his cup for a moment and as he pulls away, nodding. ]

Mmm... Yeah. You're exactly who I want to share this coffee with...

[factoring]

[ A sip of hers and she thinks about how strange it tastes. How utterly normal. She doesn't dislike it. ]

Then I'm glad to help you out.

[silicone]

If I were feeling ambitious, I'd put salt in. Not too much, though.

[factoring]

How ambitious are you feeling today?

[silicone]

[ holding out a salt packet to her. ]

I'm not, but you can be.

[factoring]

Hehe.

[ Yeah, she absolutely dumps the salt in.

What else did you expect. ]

[silicone]

[ nothing less from her!!!

he just laughs, like a real laugh. ]

Yeah, exactly.

[factoring]

[ Honestly, it's good to hear that from him. ]

I'd say it improves the flavor.

[silicone]

Salt and caramel are a popular combination in some places. Salt also cuts some of the bitterness of coffee too.

[factoring]

Hmm. Like in popcorn?

[But she wants seaweed in her coffee?]
