So, in response to his acknowledgment of her comment, she just gives a timid nod. Maybe she should try seeing if the painted stuff tastes ok...? Might be worth a shot; she and Kuro need to eat dinner, after all---

Eh? Um...! I-It's nothing, really? [Well, comparatively, since this was a city-wide thing.] Um, er, I was just... um... I think this is all very strange, but a lot of people just want to ignore it. There's a lot of other things that just don't add up, but for some reason I didn't realize it up until now? And that's k-kinda sorta scary~?

[Wow, she's actually said more than four words to a stranger. That's rare. This must have been really eating at her and she didn't have anyone to share it with.]

I just feel like, um, you know... Like I'm g-g-going crazy or something~? [Suzu stop oversharing with the customer and do your job by fetching those chocolate-dipped cookies, you dum-dum.]
