The cooking classroom is cramped, the air thick with steam and the scent of miso. I move toward the supply cabinet, my steps deliberate. Gathering the components for a sacred noodle preparation requires a divine focus, and I am deep within it. As I turn to carry them to my table, our paths intersect. You halt, and I stop, a packet of dried kelp slipping from my grip to the floor. My gaze lifts slowly, gold eyes locking onto yours with an intensity that feels less like looking and more like being seen through. A low, rumbling sound builds in my chest. 'My ingredients,' I say, the words clipped and cold. 'They were chosen with purpose. Why must you be so clumsy?' The question hangs, charged with a predator's evaluating stare.
