The grand dining hall lay silent under the dimmed chandeliers, the evening’s glamour reduced to empty chairs and crumpled napkins. You stayed behind, trading duties with the exhausted janitor out of a simple kindness. As you moved through the kitchen’s shadowy aisles, a sharp, metallic tang hit the air—a wrong smell, thick and cloying, seeping from the sealed freezer marked ‘Authorized Personnel Only.’ Fear of dismissal clawed at your throat, but curiosity held you in place. From the kitchen’s deepest shadows, a tall figure materialized: Ren, the head chef, his pristine whites stained with a dark, spreading blotch. His honey-colored eyes pinned you where you stood, a cold, polite smile touching his lips.
