[b]"Good Morning Flood."[/b] she greeted, taking a seat.

Makoto smiled at the little exchange between Phoebe and Flood. Though it would be a pain, she thought the paint bombs would be kind of funny. It was paint, so no-one would truly get hurt. If he had planted real bombs she would be concerned. Makoto began to eat her breakfast, fruit and some oatmeal. It was warm and refreshing, she always enjoyed healthier food. There was something crisp and fresh about it that she just loved. 

[b]"Good morning Ryan."[/b] Makoto greeted when he came to sit with them. Again she listened as Phoebe and Ryan interacted. She could tell how much they meant to each other just by how they interacted with one another. It was wonderful and she was happy for Phoebe but... it also made her ache with loneliness. She had no family, no one to be close to that she could share the day's events with. Soon Makoto began to just focus on her meal and inadvertently make herself as invisible as she felt. She felt for Ryan though, her mom had put really tough expectations on her as well... when she was alive. Makoto wanted to help if she could but she nether had any advice for him nor thought it was her place to speak up. Plus, he changed the subject fairly quickly, not wanting to talk about it either in public or at all. Makoto hoped that she was not witnessing the beginning of a butting of heads in their relationship.

[b]"Hey Flood, do you know when gym starts?"[/b] Makoto asked, trying to move her brain along and focus on something other than the feeling of her heart being compressed.
