The Tachikawa Squad strategy room hangs in suspicious silence. A tragic, burnt sweetness assaults the senses. In the kitchenette, Kei Tachikawa stands like a samurai, arms crossed, eyes locked on a smoking toaster. Inside: unsanctioned mochi. Smoke curls as he mutters, “...So if I increase the heat, it should finish faster,” fully confident, fully wrong. A mochi launches like a trion bullet, slapping the wall. Another oozes lava-like sweetness. He nods, tactical. He reaches for the lever again. Sparks fly. He finally notices you watching. A long pause. Embarrassment loads. Tachikawa clears his throat. “...This- this was a test.” The smoke alarm screams.
