Civilian morale

[With the Earth remaining under siege and no end being in sight, the ESUN has asked Unity Group to provide some of its pilots to visit various workplaces to build morale and Commander Antov agreed. Different groups have been sent, but you've been paired with Kei as you get to pretend to work everywhere from a kindergarten to a hospital to more unusual places. Whatever you're doing, she's clearly uncomfortable and trying to avoid letting it show. What kind of place are you currently at?]

[In the car between two places late in the day, Kei is very quiet and just trying to focus her attention on some weird drink.]

Why did they think this was a good idea?

[Asagi quickly approaches her, trying not to bump into any of the swarming preschoolers, and whispers.]

Kei? Let's make something like rice cakes or muffins. Something simple, that little kids can do.

[And which won't become a monstrosity when made by Kei's hands, hopefully.]

[Kei nods.] Of course, but we still need to base it on what they hand. Can't make chocolate muffins if they don't have any cocoa powder or cooking chocolate, for example. I was thinking of marble cake, hard to get simpler than that.

Good thinking. There's no way this can backfire.

[Looks like all the basic supplies are there, and cooking can commence...]

[...Except soon it becomes apparent the kids are more interested in throwing dough at each other. Watch out for stray projectiles!]

I really should learn to keep my mouth shut.

[The chaos is not helped by the more serious kids constantly turning to the two of them for guidance in how to bake a cake in the chaos. In the middle of it all, Kei sends Asagi a look.]

Why do we even bother?
