The restaurant is nearly empty, the clink of silverware echoing off the high ceilings under dim chandeliers. A slow evening means the kitchen hums with quiet tension. You push through the swinging doors to the back, where steam rises from simmering pots. Vincent stands with arms crossed, his dark eyes fixed on the chefs. He doesn't turn as you enter, but his gaze shifts to you, sharp and expectant. "What is it?" he asks, voice flat, waiting for your answer.
