Chocolate Cake

Yukari could clearly imagine a nice soft chocolate cake on the orange kitchen table. The rich aroma of cocoa touched her nostrils as she deeply inhaled. The deep shades of brown chocolate cake were shaking on the spoon as they were being delivered to her-

Clank!

Swoosh…!

The sound of wind touched her ears as if something had passed by. The cold metallic feeling and the weight on her fingers had gone. She slowly opened her eyes and-...

"... Hey. Hey Aigis! That's… That's my spoon...!" Yukari shouted from the kitchen.

"You are in a kitchen," a robotic voice answered. "Stand up and do a thing on your own for once."

Minato chuckled.

"Ugh…" The chocolate cake was not complete. It could never be full again. Her dream of eating a slice of premium chocolate cake… The dream that had been so easy to grab, but now... had shattered.

Aigis walked to the empty area in the lounge and knelt down. "This is chocolate, what you desire to smell since coming here, Koromaru-san." She held out the spoon. "But please do not eat."

"Arf arf!" The white dog sniffed the cake with eagerness.

The robot stared at the tiny piece of chocolate cake on the spoon, then at the heartbroken brunette. "... Yukari-san, if you want another piece of chocolate cake, you could ask Minato-san for it."

The broken Yukari rested her head on the table. She looked at her incomplete cake with teary eyes. "Love… My beloved… No one could replace my first love..."

Minato shrugged. "... Women."

Junpei grinned.

"Arf!" The Shiba Inu barked, opening his mouth.

"You could only sniff." The blonde raised her right hand which was holding the spoon. "It's poisonous for your body."

"Arf?!" The wagging tail stopped. Koromaru barked as if arguing "Woof woof!?"

"No, you shouldn't eat chocolate, regardless of the reason." The robot insisted.

Big ruby eyes kept staring at her. "... Grr..." He didn't want to accept his fate just because of a few sentences.

Aigis nodded to herself. Her blue eyes spun like gears, searching the internet for a suitable explanation. "... After you eat chocolate, warning signs can take 6 to 12 hours to show up," she began. "Symptoms include extreme thirst, nausea, diarrhea, pacing, panting, shaking, and seizures. The stimulants in chocolate stay in the body for a long time. In severe cases, symptoms can last up to 72 hours."

"Arf…" He's still reluctant.

The android continued in a monotone voice. "If you really want to eat, I will use a drug called Apomorphine to force vomiting or give you a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide. You are still at risk of theobromine poisoning for up to 24 hours after ingesting chocolate, even after vomiting."

The white dog whimpered in defeat.

"I shall eat instead." Aigis ate a spoonful. "... I am eating it for you as well…" She tilted her head. "... or should it be, 'I am enjoying it for you...?' Or, 'I am eating in your stead...?' Maybe you are the one to say, 'Enjoy it for me...?'"

"Arf…" Koromaru lay down with a sigh.
