Impossible? Cooking? If they can't cook here, then how did she survive? Unless the notion of a simulation was right, and she didn't need to eat. It'd make sense, except for the part where it wouldn't. Unless this was an incredibly real simulation? Hunk wanted to be direct about it, to just ask Monika, but then-

He's hurting her? She's about to cry? His heart tenses in his chest and his eyes grow wide as he clenches his teeth, biting his tongue figuratively and all but literally as she spoke. This wasn't supposed to happen, and he just sighs.

"I'm not trying to hurt you, Monika. That- You-" As he stumbles over his words for a moment, his own pain and remorse begins to give way to give way to frustration. Frustration at Monika's world, her stubbornness, and the fact that she's forced to relive whatever this is supposed to be.

"I'm here to get you out of this place, okay?!" His voice is raised, and his tone is a hair's width from pleading, but he decides to go all-in. "This isn't your home anymore, Vaikuntha is."

He didn't notice it until he spat out the name of their new world, but there was a quite a bit of stinging in his eyes. Between Monika's pain and his own, Hunk had started crying, and a few tears began to streak down his face.

"Whenever you're ready, you have to tell me that epiphany, and you can't do that from here." And he just sighs again. Why'd all these memories have to hurt so much?!
