The memories of his home planet made Roland pause for a few seconds, looking thoughtfully at his plate. There would be little homesickness in what he said after those two seconds:
"Pittsburgh... Well, I suppose people always exaggerate some things, but... Let's put it this way. If you're rich and powerful, you'll need not just a respirator in Pittsburgh, but a full hazmat suit. And if you're a street kid like I was... Well, you won't even have a respirator. In any case, I can't really recommend this place for a visit."
He shrugs and returns to his meal, though there is still a thoughtfulness in his eyes. Perhaps a little sadness or regret.
"Yes, the ramen is great. It's a shame I only have the chance to try it now."
Smiling slightly, he focused on eating again. The meal was almost over.
