Wilfred, sensing her confusion, calmly explained, "This is chicken heart, and this is chicken liver... both are internal organs. This part is the chicken breast, and the legs have the most tender meat..." Listening to Wilfred's descriptions felt like a lesson in anatomy rather than a meal. She could almost picture Wilfred performing a dissection on the chicken while cooking. Instead of feeling hungry, she felt nauseous.

It shouldn't be bad." He was confident in his cooking, but Nina said, "It looks like an operating table, with all the organs laid out. It's hard to have an appetite. Your skills are better suited for dissections than cooking." Wilfred realized his mistake and put down his utensils. "I'm sorry, I didn't notice." "It's okay," Nina said.
