[...Ah, so that's that. It's the sixth, about two days now since she reset back to herself and she's no doubt talked to Winry by now even if it's not threaded yet and they no doubt reached some sort of accord. Some sort of agreement where she decided that no, enough was enough and she was a single woman who was the ex of the person she loved more than anyone else in her life. But she was okay with that- on Mother's Day she decided she was okay with being an ex and because of the ridiculousness of the experiment she decided she was okay with being single.
So really, her own initial reaction to reading that Suki has gone home reviles her on a level that she almost feels sick right after feeling it. She feels satisfaction. Vindicated that one of the factors in her own breakup is now ripped apart by the forces that be in Luceti. And in that same instant she found herself thinking "serves them right."
It only takes a split second for her to recall though that these aren't evil people and these aren't a narrative. It's Sokka, a person she has known for better or worse for a long time now, being denied any attention of someone he was close to. It's not the same as her and Winry's situation, it's more like a magnified version of her (Haruki's?) situation from years and years ago.
How can you say she belongs there? Idiot.
Forcing herself to feel something other than feeling sick she decides to set to work making something. She's taken to baking when people are sad and bringing them something but to be honest baking is both not her forte and not a passion. She decides to cook instead - Barbecue style as she's seen directions for in books in the library. She's never done it, but she's sure it can pull it off and relying on smoking the way it's apparently supposed to between collecting the ingredients and the supplies it'll take hours and hours, the whole rest of the day.
And she can drop it off at Sokka's place tomorrow, keeping it heated enough in the oven before then. Brilliant. She'll do that.]
