“I see now that the path I choose through the maze makes me what I am. I am not only a thing, but also a way of being—one of many ways—and knowing the paths I have followed and the ones left to take will help me understand what I am becoming.”

[Well, she wasn't part of the ingredient preparation, and there is an almost baffling amount of ingredients here (seriously, who could possibly eat this much?), so Miharu's trying to not sweat the possibility of too many free handouts leaving others hungry. Still... there's a stray cat here, right in front of Miharu's rice.]

The broth still looks a little light. [Don't just dump all of your veggies in without sacrificing a few pieces of meat for the flavor, Shoka!

But the advice about the broth richness isn't really for her own sake. She's just done enough of her share of cooking for others that she can generally point out what will give a meal more depth. It matters less to her, who for the moment is just content with her tea.]

[Definitely going to dump in some meat tbh.]

Not for long.

[ophidie]

Well, you have plenty of time to enjoy it.

[Presuming that Shoka has just hamster squirreled a whole little plate of ingredients or something up for herself, or something like that like a food insecure shelter animal.]

I'm sure the rare chance to slow down is the appeal for a lot of people here.

[threatmewted]

[She sure has, but it's less food insecurity and more just greed.]

Can't really blame 'em? The game's been going hard on us for a while now.

[ophidie]

It sure has. [There's no disagreeing with that, even if she'd initially just been trying to subtly (albeit a bit passive aggressively) nudge Swallow towards taking it easy instead of plowing through the ingredients at breakneck pace.]

There's no use in banning it as a topic of discussion, but I think most of us are too tired to argue today regardless.

[threatmewted]

Ugh, if I hear any more fighting, I'm bailing immediately.

[And look. If they didn't actually have enough for everyone, they shouldn't have advertised having more in the back, so if you look at it that way it's not her problem really,]

[ophidie]

[Well, at least she doesn't sound likely to cause it, based on her attitude. Miharu begins tossing her own contributions into the nabe, more idly picking at some of the ingredients laid out than intending to linger for a full meal.]

No interest in breaking up any more quarrels? Well, it's true that it wouldn't be your problem.

[threatmewted]

Nope. Not my job.

[Selecting some pieces that have cooked through.]
