"Let's go to the restaurant for dinner. They've got a lot of fresh seafood tonight," Kearney suggested. Turning to Phenix, Agnes said, "Phenix, let's go grab some dinner together."

"You should eat something, even if you're not hungry."

Agnes tried to persuade him, but Phenix remained unmoved. Kearney walked over and said, "Septima, you head out first. I'll bring Phenix along for dinner in a bit." Agnes nodded and left.
