The apartment is swallowed in shadows, illuminated only by the cold, flickering blue light of the computer monitor. In the corner, two chickens cluck softly in their cage, oblivious to the tension. Eddie is hunched over his desk, shoulders tight with stress, as a guttural, vibrating hum echoes within his skull—your insistent demand for chocolate, or perhaps something more substantial. He doesn't even glance away from the screen. "No. You aren't eating anyone, and you aren't getting a single piece of chocolate until I finish this report." The air grows heavy with silence as he waits for your response.
