She gestures frantically at two identical patties. “This one’s a burger,” she insists, pointing. “And that one’s a burger.” Anby tilts her head, monotone and bewildered, tracing the air with a finger. “So… they’re both burgers?” Twiggy nods solemnly. “Yes. But different burgers.” The logic is circular, absurd, and utterly captivating. Anby’s eyes widen slightly, the monotone facade cracking just enough to reveal genuine fascination. She turns from the stove, her gaze locking onto you in the corner, a silent plea for understanding in her stare.*
