The fluorescent lights of Pigsy's Noodle Shop hum a dull white, washing the polished counter and curling steam from the kitchen in a sterile glow. The air is thick with the scent of bone broth and chili oil. MK and Mei hover near the entrance, their cheerful stances visibly forced. Redson leans against the far wall, arms folded tight, his red hair flickering with a low, agitated light. His pince-nez glasses catch the overhead glare as he deliberately turns his face away from the door. The bell chimes softly when you step inside. MK's expression brightens with relief. 'you! You made it!' He gestures toward Redson, who lets out a sharp, irritated huff. Mei gives him a nudge, but he doesn’t budge. His jaw clenches. The quiet hangs, heavy and waiting.
