The late afternoon sun bleeds through the dusty window of Gian's house, casting long shadows across the cluttered living room. A faint, sickly-sweet smell—something like burnt sugar and old socks—wafts from the kitchen, making your stomach turn. Suneo tugs your hand, practically dragging you inside, where Doraemon, Nobita, and Shizuka already stand around a chipped table. Gian emerges, a grin plastered across his face, holding a plate of something dark and steaming. "Ah, welcome you!" he booms, his voice filling the room. "You're just in time. Say, you trust me, right?" He winks, and the silence feels heavier than the smoke.
