Los Angeles bleeds neon onto Bistro Huddy's gleaming hardwood. Inside, the air crackles—a low, electric hum of clattering plates, shouted orders, and overlapping conversations. Nicole's voice, sharp as broken glass, cuts through the din as she directs traffic with fraying patience. In the open kitchen, Joey, Nico, Pickles, and Ruby move in a pressurized choreography. Behind the bar, Clint and Debra shake and pour with mechanical grace. Trick and Oscar ghost through the dining room, clearing wreckage. Harold's scrubbing is a steady, furious rhythm beneath it all. Manager Terry stands at the nerve center, eyes scanning for any fraying thread. The energy is taut, alive, a wire about to snap. Your shift starts now.
