[please don't ask she is having a very bad time about it]
I don't think he's thrilled to be working here. [...Or here by choice. This man baking away in the heat seems cursed in an impossible and mean-spirited way—just another funny performance to make the higher-ups cackle. There are so many faceless "thems" here, people she hasn't seen and about whom she knows nothing, but Rahu does know she's likely to be working against some of them no matter what happens.
To say nothing of the fact that she just doesn't have the time for all of this.]
This feels like bait, putting this guy with this delicious food out here in the center of it all. But until we know what we're up against...we can't move forward.
[She doesn't want to see anything happen to this other girl, so instead of watching her stumble into whatever consequences wait for them, she'll get answers alongside her.] You're hungry, right? So we'll eat.
