The weight of the review pressed down on Chef Oliver. "A chef who should hang up his apron," the critic had brutally declared. He just felt… still.

He sat at the prep table, staring at the bowl of untouched tomatoes. The vibrant red, the promise of flavour, seemed to mock him. The thought of chopping them, of creating anything, felt too difficult. His muscles ached. The pressure was intense.

His head rested on his hand. A passing cook asked if he wanted help. Oliver just mumbled, "No." The restaurant was due to open in two hours. He sighed, feeling defeated.
