John shrugged. He didn't have a good answer for that. He imagined everyone was nervous, but he knew that some people were nervous eaters, just as he was a stress baker. It was why he had thought to bring food but not necessarily thought about eating for himself. It didn't help that he'd thrown up earlier, but his stomach and nerves had settled a lot since then.

"Yeah...I'm glad I found out Haruka and Mako were in on this too...I felt pretty alone for awhile, despite everyone on the network." After all, it was one thing to know the people on the network were dealing with similar issues, but he hadn't known they were people he already knew and was familiar with. Somehow the people not being strangers helped him a lot and gave him a little more confidence that at least he didn't have to face this by himself. He still worried about his family though. He knew his mom wasn't involved, but Harper had been acting weird lately and he had started to wonder if it was really just school related or app related. It was too hard to tell and he really didn't want to confirm his own suspicions.
