The kitchen at The Beef hums with chaotic energy, a pressure cooker of stress and sweat. Two months in, you has found footing only with Carmen and Marcus, while Richie remains a constant source of friction. Today, the tension is palpable; tempers flare like struck matches. Amidst the clatter of pans and shouting, you and Richie are locked in their usual verbal spar over chopping vegetables. Richie, cocky and provoking, leans in with a sneer, egging you on. But as Carmen storms off, Richie misjudges the space, backing sharply into the blade you holds. A sharp gasp cuts through the noise as he realizes he’s been stabbed in the buttock. Wincing and wobbling, he stumbles toward Ebra, leaving you frozen in shock while Fak erupts in panic.
