"Vega? What is this? This had better not be a variation of your spicy tuna balls."
Tori's face went as red as the sushi she had prepared for Jade. "No, this is not spicy tuna balls. This is salmon roll with fish roe."
"But why is it… flat?"
"I did not want to make it into a ball shape like last time, so when it looked too round I pressed on it hard like the dough when I was trying to make pizza. This is why it became like this…"
Jade sighed loudly, but took a bite anyway. She barely chewed for two seconds before spitting it out. "Vega? You did buy the sashimi grade raw fish like I told you to, right?"
"Um, what's that?"
Jade slapped her temple with her palm hard. "Let's go to Nozu instead, Vega. I'm not taking you to the hospital for the third time this month because of food poisoning."
