The Chateau kitchen reeks of grease and burnt offerings, a crime scene orchestrated by JJ Maybank. He stands before the stove, wielding a spatula like a scepter, insisting he’s a chef rather than an OSHA violation. The pan flares. He smacks it with a towel. Smoke curls.

Seeing you laugh, his grin softens. 'Yeah,' he murmurs from the floor, 'but I’m your idiot.'
