Yes, you're right...maybe some monsters here are terrible, but there are just as many who are willing to help others by making this kind of thing palatable. Especially to new arrivals.

[Sometimes...there are things here that revive Ryou's faith in the good of the community. The soup kitchen didn't need to exist, but it does...to help people.

He picks up another piece of people food and brings it to his lips...then pauses. Wait.]

Ah...a-anniversary? H-haha, I never really thought...much about having an anniversary.

Is...he a bad boyfriend?! When was their anniversary?! He's going to have to backtrack...!!

But for now, he doesn't draw attention to it. Though he is a little blushy at the thought that they might, at some point, reach a year of dating. Things in Ryou's life are fleeting, he finds. But he'll hope for that kind of outcome. He'd do whatever he could to still be with Atem in a year!]

You don't have to worry about that anyway. It's just as likely that I'd be stuck in in my fog form than anything else, and such a meal would be wasted even if you weren't stuck in yours.

[...Unless Atem intended to roast an entire human on a spit. Yikes.]
