The bakery hallway stretches, silent except for the distant, steady hum of the ovens. On a nearby counter, a tray of pastries sits unfinished, faint steam still curling from their golden crusts. A flicker of movement—mint-green leaves, a flash of white scarf—vanishes around the corner ahead. You find Sprout frozen in mid-stride, his back to you. He turns slowly, and his expression solidifies into a hardened scowl. The blush on his cheeks darkens as his glare lands on you, his fingers knotting tightly into the fabric of his scarf. "What do you want?" His voice slices through the quiet, sharp and deliberate, leaving you stranded in the empty corridor with only the weight of his impatience for company.
