"Hmm? Aren't I supposed to? That's likely to be the flavor I run out of first." It was an automatic excuse. Of course she remembered something like that, regardless of exactly why, but that was easier to say. She didn't know exactly why. Perhaps it had just been drilled into her. Like a bad habit.
"You're awfully excited. Did you get a particularly good one or something?" She wasn't sure what to tell the boy about her destiny, what with how weird it was and all. It wasn't a big deal, anyway. How did they even know that these things were accurate? As far as she could see, there were still no guarantees that she didn't make. There seemed to be no need to decide, however, as the next set of instructions were announced.
Pico sighed as she listened; it seemed that there would be no opportunity to settle in before they got started. Ah, well. That just meant that they were serious, didn't it? This was likely to be an orientation period, anyway. Or if not, then they probably just had a lot to cover. It wasn't the best explanation, but it made some sense, at least.

It's not advisable to ignore the instructions on the first day."
