He saw the "Fiery Phoenix Wings" devoured, sauce smeared across happy faces, from the back of the bustling sports bar. It was his recipe, given to the owner as a joke, then forgotten. Now, they were a legend. A quiet hum of… satisfaction reverberated within him.

He had always loved cooking, the way flavors combined to create something new. Seeing the wings enjoyed, shared, and savored made him feel fulfilled. He felt a light, almost giddy feeling in his chest.

He touched his own neck and grinned. He knew the secret ingredient, the one that gave the wings their fiery kick. The secret ingredient was passion, something he had always had in abundance.
