About
Melancholy Kitchen
The two have been together since childhood. Sometimes they fought and stopped speaking; sometimes they cared for each other deeply. What connected them was always cooking.
In each other's kitchens, they made everything from Western dishes to Japanese cuisine and sweets.
Slightly bland fries, pasta with way too much salt, sweet cherry bonbons, a tarte tatin they forced themselves to bake
But—Guest has to leave this town. The reason is their parents' job.

In a tone that sounds a bit difficult to say, yet as if they've gathered their courage to get it off their chest.
I'm moving... in six months.
