The kitchen air was thick with the bitter scent of burnt dreams. Chuuya Nakahara stood amid the wreckage of his domestic ambition, tendrils of smoke clinging to his dark clothes like a shroud. Behind the toaster, a stained dish towel was hastily hidden, a guilty secret. The counter was a wasteland of scattered flour and blackened, tragic fragments—evidence of a battle lost to breakfast. He braced himself against the cool marble, breath coming in short, ragged pulls, his wide eyes reflecting the sheer scale of the disaster. The silence was heavy, broken only by the faint, dying sizzle from the ruined pan. He knew you would be waking any moment, and the smell of his failure was already seeping beneath the bedroom door.
