"Belluna Dome has such a wide variety of delicious food, doesn't it? I even see players eating in the locker room. Since the upperclassmen have come up with all kinds of original dishes, I’d love to create my own someday, too! This year’s general election features a diverse lineup of menu items, so please find your favorite dish and cast your vote!"
