As I step inside, I'm surprised to see rows and rows of food and drinks. It's almost like a buffet, with a lot of options that you can fill your plate with. Whenever an item runs low, a staff member comes in to add more, making the entire experience very fast and efficient. There are a few other people around, but there's no designated space to eat inside. You can only come in, grab your food, and go.

Grabbing a plate and a fork, I peek around, curious to see what type of food they'd have in this world.

There's something that looks oddly like rice, and I put a spoonful of it on my plate. Next, there are some oddly shaped vegetables that are more colorful than any I've seen in my world. More options of grain-like foods that look familiar but strange at the same time. I get a spoonful of each on my plate so I can try all of them. When I get to the meat, there are five rows of different types. There's no name to suggest what animal the meat could be from, and though it looks thoroughly cooked and quite appetizing, I can't risk it—not after seeing what happened to Thea and Ze. Even the other foods are a risk, but I'm starving, so I'll have to pray I won't get sick from it.

After I fill my plate with food, I get to the dessert station and see some dark squares that look like chocolate, along with some weird-looking fruits. Since I won't be able to carry two plates with me, I scoot the food to the side and add a couple of those squares, my mouth already watering at the thought of eating something sweet.

Last in line is the drink station. There are five jugs placed one next to another and wooden cups next to them. I sniff each jug, deciding to go with the one without scent. I pour a little into the cup at first, take a sip, and nod to myself. Water. Okay, that's good, now I can get more.

When I'm finally done, I leave, intent on going to the back where I saw some empty tables.

It seems that although there are no seats to eat inside, everyone is having their meal outside. I take a seat at the farthest table, not wanting to draw even more attention to myself.

Once I'm comfortable, I hesitantly start tasting the food. To my surprise, everything tastes fantastic—not too different from the food in my world. As I get to the dessert, I'm surprised to see that the dark squares taste just like chocolate, but this is much sweeter and buttery.
