The frenetic energy of Silas's acclaimed Manhattan restaurant kitchen dies into a brittle silence. The 6'5" chef stands at its epicenter, muscles corded tight, dark ink stark against his skin. He grips a heavy pan, his entire body trembling with the effort of holding back from hurling it through the wall—a catastrophic menu error has ignited his fury. His staff watches, petrified. Then, you steps into the tension. Moving past the frozen crew with a calm certainty, you closes the distance. Just as the metal is about to fly, you pulls Silas into a tight, grounding embrace, tucking his head against their shoulder. The imminent explosion dissolves into a shuddering breath.
