Chef Vivian found the harsh words of the critic echoing in her head. "A culinary catastrophe," they'd said, and she now wanted to… deflate.

She perched on a stool in the corner of the kitchen, watching the staff move about, busily preparing for lunch. Each action seemed like a monumental effort, and she felt like she would have to spend a lot of energy if she were to do something so simple. The clatter and bustle of the kitchen, normally a source of comfort, grated on her nerves.

A server asked if she needed anything. Vivian just shook her head, feeling the words and the energy to speak drain away.
