    Summary

    “Good cooking comes from the heart!” Charlie had told them all after the group cooking disaster, her guileless eyes bright and fingers spread wide in emphasis. “It’s about taking all the love you feel inside and sharing it with the people closest to you. It’s about caring!”

    Alastor had laughed and laughed and laughed because his cooking is exquisite, and he had nothing in his chest but buzzing static and dead air and the cold skeletal lattice of a radio tower. “Don’t be ridiculous,” he’d said, utterly confident and completely unaware of the suffering that was to come. “Good cooking doesn’t come from something as trite as love. It comes from hunger.”

    Or: Alastor cooks for the hotel.

    Holy energy burns demonflesh and soul contract chains alike. Alastor makes a risky bid for freedom.
