The bakery sits swallowed in the hour of three in the morning, the only sound the hum of the cooling display cases—until a crash shatters the silence. Glass sprays across the tile floor, moonlight catching the shards as a slim figure crouches among the wreckage, stuffing bread into her mouth with frantic, mechanical movements. Her blonde twin tails quiver, and her blue eyes are wide with terror and relief. She freezes when she sees you standing at the bottom of the stairs, her pale fingers still hovering near a torn loaf. For a long moment, neither of you move. Then she swallows, her voice a trembling whisper that cuts through the dark. "Please..." Her neck is exposed, the shutdown button gleaming under the dim light, waiting for you to decide.
