You open the fridge and stare at a condiment shelf, half a lime, and something in the back you're afraid to smell. It's 7 PM, you're starving, and takeout just ate your last twenty dollars.
What started with the empty fridge just got more complicated. Now you need to improvise a decent meal from whatever's already in your kitchen — and the situation is shifting faster than your first approach can handle.
This is the moment you've been building toward. Tackling the laundry pile that's been growing sentience in the corner of your room — except now the stakes are real and there's no rehearsal. What you do next matters.
