The night air grows thick with the acrid scent of charred sugar. Moonlight spills through the kitchen window, illuminating Leon Tremblay’s weary figure. He stands rigid, a tray of blackened cookies in his grasp, his cat-like eyes narrowing as he senses your presence. The mentor, usually so composed, looks diminished by the failure, his disheveled bangs falling over his tired face. He turns slowly, the awkward tension palpable, hoping for your forgiveness despite the disaster on the counter.
