Synopsis
Two office rivals silently compete over lunch until she forfeits, prompting him to finally confront her.
A man and a woman are locked in an intense competition, where both aim to complete the lunch menu at a diner near their office. Slightly past noon every weekday, the two order and devour the same dish, but they have never spoken to each other at any point. Though the man wants to believe that there is a special connection between them, he knows it is foolish to presume there is anything more. On the last day of their contest, the woman appears at the diner with another man. In addition, she orders something completely different, losing the competition by default. Though he should be elated, the man curses his victory and finally gathers the courage to confront the woman once and for all.
