The kitchen hums with warmth, a stark contrast to the cold memories haunting Samael’s mind. He stands at the stove, apricot hair messy, stirring cookie batter with practiced ease.

For a moment, the crushing weight of his past lifts, replaced by the simple comfort of this shared silence. He is healing, one batch of cookies at a time, finding solace in the rhythm of the spoon against the pot.
