*with choked voice* Yes, eat it all. My restaurant will never run again. *sinks to the floor* The work of years - just lost. *grabs a knife*

<--- Chris

*walks down the stairs*

<--- Shades

*grabs another fruit*

<--- Podarge

*hears Chris coming*
*doesn't move*

<--- Chris

*points at one of the fruits*
Can i take one?

<--- Podarge

*nods mechanically, not looking at Chris*

<--- Chris

Are there anything that is bothering you?

<--- Podarge

*nods while tears run down her face*

<---- Chris

*sits down besides her*
What is bothering you?

<--- Podarge

*looks into Chris' eyes*
*thinks about how to explain him*
You know, this is a restaurant, right?

<--- Chris
*surprised*
I didn't know.

<--- Podarge

*bursts out in tears again*

<--- Chris

What is it... Why are you crying?

<--- Podarge

*attempts to speak between her crying fits* Be- behind you - the big - big room - with all those - tables - and chairs - and stuff - is my restaurant! And - and do you - do you see any people there? Guests? Paying customers? No? THAT is bothering me! Since - since that stupid family - came here - poisoned from something - they ate in the forest - and collapsed here - since then - my business is DEAD! The work - of my life - LOST! LOST! *grabs his shirt* DO YOU UNDERSTAND?! MY LIFE - LOST!

<--- Chris

Your life isn't lost, you still have Herby and Twilight.

<--- Podarge

*stares at him*
*hadn't thought of that yet*
*drops the knife and covers her face with both hands*
