After school was dismissed for the day, Yomi found Tomo slumped over her desk.

"Problem?" Yomi asked.

"I'm hungry," Tomo said face-down into her desk.

"You shouldn't have eaten lunch early," an entirely unsympathetic Yomi said.

"Buy me a snack?" Tomo asked weakly.

"No!" said Yomi. "Go home and eat dinner!"

Tomo looked up with sad puppy-dog eyes. "But I'm so hungry," she whined.

"Wouldja knock it off!?" Yomi yelled.

And then, Kagura walked up. "Gosh," she said earnestly, "I am so hungry!"

As Yomi's own stomach began to growl, Yomi paused to weigh the benefits and risks of cannibalism.
