[Ah... how much does she want to say? Deep breath.]

Back in third grade, I tried to make shougayaki.

[Usually she's fairly private about her family life, a combination of her culture and her own personality. The only reason she brought Inuzuka-sensei and Tsumugi into it was because she was desperate, lonely, and even they don't know the full story yet. But... Hunk's presence is soothing. He really gets her. ... Maybe not all the details, but... some.]

I wanted to surprise them. Shougayaki is my dad's favorite, and I thought my mom would be proud if I made something myself.

[She wanted to surprise them, make them happy, get them to stop arguing for a while and remember that they were a family.]

But... then I cut my finger while shredding the cabbage. They had to rush me to the hospital for stitches, and I just made everything worse.

[That last clause slips out, and she brings a hand up over her mouth in surprise and shame.]
