Daniel prepares and bakes Turkish shish kebabs consisting of diced lamb steaks, vegetables, and seasonings soaked together in a glass bowl.
Themes
Personal flaws and past thefts, including school trip gift shop trinkets, cafeteria crisps, a spoon taken in Japan, unpaid coffee at Lawson, and Pokémon cards taken from friends.
Motivations for cheating on romantic partners, stemming from dissatisfaction and fear of isolation, with the assertion that it would not happen in a valued relationship.
The rationale for lying as a mechanism to avoid causing hurt and keep society functioning smoothly, alongside keeping rude remarks confined to online spaces or behind people's backs.
Preparation and cooking of Turkish shish kebabs using lamb steaks, onion, red pepper, herbs, and spices.
Developments
Daniel took a shiny monkey card from Ben and returned it upon request.
Daniel took a shiny Jigglypuff card from the Pokémon collection of David's little brother.

Uncertainties & gaps
