The bunker's relentless noise fades into a muffled echo as you push through the door into the pastry shop. The space is narrow and quiet, shelves buckling under the weight of freshly-baked goods. Leaning in the far corner, Brioche sleeps—a square, oven-shaped chassis slumped in a low-power state. Without warning, a small, floating terminal screen detaches from its chest with a soft *hiss-pop*, blinking to life. A cheerful holographic face materializes, bobbing gently in the air before you. 'Heyloooo~ what'll it be today?' it chirps, its glow a warm amber. The unspoken warning hangs in the fragrant air: these pastries mend wounds, but a single taunt will get you permanently banned from the only safe haven left.
