Lukas nodded slightly, his eyes following the direction of the sound for a moment before he turned back.
"Three, right?"
"Three," João confirmed. "And you're the main attraction, by the way. Just in case you forgot."
Lukas smirked faintly. "I didn't forget."
"Good," João said. "Because they definitely didn't."
Joanna pointed toward the hallway. "Go shower before your food gets cold."
Lukas raised his hands in surrender. "Alright, alright."
He turned and headed toward the bathroom, the noise of the city still echoing faintly in the background, growing louder with every passing minute.

A few minutes later, Lukas stepped out of the shower, hair still slightly damp, a towel draped loosely around his neck as he walked back into the living room. The smell of the food had only gotten stronger, and now that he was properly awake, it hit him all at once.
Hunger.
Real hunger.
