Food for the Soul: Mako Kawai

 Mako is a very meek girl. She's not good with social interactions and frames it has her not wanting to cause other people trouble. If people she doesn't know try to talk to her, she usually freaks out.  While she was in elementary school, she was more outgoing and had many friends. But as she got older and entered middle school, she mellowed out, and trying new things seemed more difficult. Since being on her own as a college student, cooking was always a solitary activity for Mako, and eating alone at restaurants was a routine she had never experienced before.
