Shayla was lounging in an open kitchen doorway of the Shinonome Diner, chatting with a busy Nanami.
"I gotta hand it to ya, Box Lunch Girl," said Shayla. "We don't always get along, but you do know how to run a restaurant."
"Thank you, Shayla," said Nanami. "That's very kind of you."
"You've been spendin' the best years of your life in this hot kitchen, puttin' in long days to turn a small profit," Shayla said, "while I've been goofin' off, havin' excitin' adventures in distant exotic lands..."
Nanami sighed. "Just had to keep talking, didn't you?"
Shayla grinned. "Yup."
