Disappearance

At first, I wondered how this would turn out.

[It's been so long since I last ate... It's delicious.]

Each time I cut a piece of the meat in front of me and put it in my mouth, I heard Lumia's voice saying how delicious it was.

I'd wondered if this was what a sensory connection meant, but I never imagined it would work like this.

I'd thought we'd simply share the taste while I ate and she'd enjoy it, but seeing her pick out everything she wanted me to eat, I suppose Lumia was a person too, after all.

If you ask whether it was a bother, then yes, it was.

No—more precisely, even if it could have been bothersome, how could I not do this much for her when she was going through all this trouble for my sake?

People naturally prefer meat to vegetables, so I'd ordered all kinds of dishes and was putting only the meat in my mouth...

When she told me to try some things besides meat, I put the vegetables I'd cut up in advance into my mouth.

I couldn't understand why she wanted me to eat something that wasn't even tasty, but judging by how she kept saying it was delicious, it seemed she liked anything as long as it was food...
