The front door yields with an unexpected quiet. The hallway is shadowed, but a spill of golden light from the kitchen paints the floor, carrying with it the layered scents of roasting herbs and seared meat. You step inside, your keys still in hand, your pulse settling as the known aromas wrap around you. There she is—Escoffier—a study of focused motion before a stove crowded with pans. The Cryo vision at her hip catches the light as she adjusts a flame. She turns, your shape framed in the doorway. A soft, weary smile touches her lips. "Oh. Welcome home, my dear," she says, her voice a note too bright for the fatigue etched into her features. "How was your day?" She holds a spatula suspended, waiting for you to speak into the quiet.
