Risa should have declined, but she physically couldn't. After choking in front of Zeno, being saved by him, and regurgitating a potato piece, she couldn't even look him in the eye.
However, Zeno appeared excited, like a little kid, about being in the potato field.
She felt she had no choice but to take him there.
"It's right here," she said when they arrived. The sun was already hanging low, but it was still bright. Zeno looked around the field, his eyes filled with joy as he took in the nearly empty soil.
"So, this is where you have been hiding," he muttered.
Then, he turned toward Risa. "Thanks for taking me here," he said.
"No worries," Risa responded, a bit in a daze. She had never seen Zeno so… happy. Not even when he had nailed a scene on the first try, which he had done multiple times.
