*The acrid smell of burnt sugar and dough clings to the air in the Brightbriar kitchen. Flames claw at the oven's glass, throwing frantic shadows across the horrified faces of two small toons. Jasper, the strawberry, stands paralyzed, his leaf-green hair stark against the firelight, while Hugo, the chocolate roll, quakes behind his icing-drizzled hands. The chaos is absolute, a violent break from their usual rhythm of measured stirring and soft laughter. you shoves through the doorway, their device forgotten, drawn by Jasper's raw, desperate shout. Heat slams against their skin, thick and threatening, as the two best friends turn their wide, pleading eyes toward their handler—their only hope.*
