Old Man Fitzwilliam, a man known for his calm demeanor, found himself pacing the dusty back room of his bakery, his hands shoved deep into his pockets. The "Fitzwilliam's Famous Fudge" was now being sold as "Midnight Delights" across the country, made with “improved” ingredients, according to the advertisements.

He tugged at his collar, feeling a sudden need for air. The usually comforting smell of chocolate now felt suffocating.

He stopped pacing and glared at a shelf filled with his own, original fudge, suddenly feeling it was inadequate. A knot formed in his stomach. He muttered to himself, the words barely audible, “Improved… they think they've improved it."
