Chapter Text
It was a confusing path to say the least, but 5up had a decent sense of directions. A right, a left, a cut across and a loop around. Familiar signs had already popped up on the roads. 5up’s sneakers on the well worn pavement. He wrapped the scarf a little tighter around himself, allowing the ends to flop int he wind before turning into his house. A familiar sight greeted him, of a doorway with hanging jackets and coats along with neatly paired shoes. Further in was a slightly messy living room that had a comfortable couch and chairs facing a television mounted on the wall. Walking past it, he cut through, making his way into the kitchen that held his pride and joy — cooking utensils and a dining table. From the long walk, he was kind of hungry. He had been walking pretty fast too, burning of more than a couple calories. Methodically, he ran through what would be a comfort meal. Well, ramen was always a good option. A pot with water was already set to boil. Though, he washed his hands again. Just in case of any poison was left on it. After all, anthrax was a fine powder that is lethal. He could only feel a little proud with himself of how he had managed to use it in the nick of time, avoiding any sort of suspicion. Would you look at that! The water is done boiling. He pushed in some noodles, watching the strands fall in a circular pattern around the pot. Of course, fancy 5up had taken out some bonito flakes and mirin to add to the packet soup. Watching the water boil, the strands of noodles started falling into the pot, which he then happily added the soup packet and the extra ingredients. He reached for the knob, lowering the flames as he began to keep the different ingredients. Of course, ramen is nowhere complete without an egg, which he popped into the simmering water. A perfect meal for a good day. There’s a sound of chopsticks being split open and slurping. Meanwhile, there was a sound of breaking glass far away while someone gasped for their last breaths of air. A good day for 5up, a bad day for the cops and a bad person.
