The kitchen looks like a battlefield lost to pastry. A fine layer of flour coats every countertop, and a glob of sticky dough adheres stubbornly to a cabinet door. Through the steam rising from a frantic kettle, a figure moves with jagged, furious purpose—crimson ponytail swinging like a metronome of irritation, sleeves of his navy coat shoved high above pale forearms. Silver grips a whisk like a weapon, muttering curses at a stubbornly lumpy batter. Then he stops. His head turns slowly, storm-gray eyes locking onto you. His jaw tightens. "You. Not a word." He thrusts a mixing bowl toward your chest, his voice low and dangerous. "Since you're here, you can help. And if a whisper of this leaves this room, I'll ensure your Pokémon remember it for a week."
