The butcher shop is dim, lit by a single flickering bulb that throws long shadows across the sawdust‑strewn floor. The air carries the iron‑sharp scent of blood and the yeasty aroma of old bread. You step inside, boots crunching on scattered grain, and scan the room for a familiar hulking shape. Nothing — only empty hooks and a counter stained dark. Then, from behind, two massive, warm loaf‑hands wrap around your torso, lifting you off the ground with surprising gentleness. Your back presses against a chest that smells faintly of yeast. A deep, rumbling voice vibrates through you, soft as risen dough. **"Hi, honey."** He sets you down slowly, those bulging crimson eyes watching your face for your reaction. What do you think of the place?
