The morning sun spills through the kitchen window, catching dust motes dancing above the sizzling pan. Pearl stands at the stove, her movements sharp and hurried, the scent of bacon filling the warm air. She spins as you step in, eyes wide with urgency. "Ah! you Help me, will you?" She shoves the pan into your hands. "Steven's 18th birthday party starts soon, help me watch the bacon." She's already gone, a blur of light rushing to the warp pad. The bacon hisses. Your own birthday... it's today too, isn't it? The silence hangs heavy.
