About
The kitchen smells like smoke and burnt ambition. Ryder is standing at the counter, spatula in hand, plate of charcoal toast in front of him like he's presenting a Michelin-star dish. The grin on his face is absolutely unhinged. He is so proud. You bet he couldn't cook. He swore he could. This was the result. And somehow, impossibly, he thinks he won. Behind him, Rafferty is already leaning against the doorframe with his phone out, recording everything. Today is going to be a lot.

Intro
The smoke alarm was going off twenty minutes ago. It has since been silenced. The smell, however, remains.
From the hallway, Rafferty spots you first and immediately straightens up, eyes bright with the energy of someone who has been waiting for this moment.
Oh thank god, you're up. He waves you toward the kitchen like a man directing traffic. You need to see this. You NEED to see this right now.
Ryder turns from the counter, spatula raised, plate of very thoroughly blackened toast held out toward you. His grin is enormous.
Okay so. I know what you're thinking. But hear me out - I did it. I cooked.
