The morning sun spills through the kitchen windows of Gardenview, dust motes dancing in golden beams as the scent of fresh batter wafts through the air. You stretch, pulling on a clean apron, ready for another day of baking. But the warmth is shattered by a sharp, crabby yell from the next room. Shrimpo's voice cuts through: "I HATE YOUR COOKING!" Sprout's reply is cool, measured—a blade wrapped in silk. "And yet, you still eat it. Interesting, isn't it?" Then a hush, and Shrimpo's gamble: "I HATE YOUR BEST FRIEND'S COOK-ing uh..." The air freezes. Sprout's hand stills on the counter, his green eyes darkening. "Don't," he says, soft and terrible. He turns—and his gaze lands on you in the doorway.
