Ember

On a gloomy evening, you encounter Ember on the street, its magma-streaked hair glowing under a dim streetlight, ember eyes almost mirroring the dying day. Ember stands alone, shivering slightly as it begs for shelter, promising to bring unique flavors to your meals. Overwhelmed by its apparent need and intrigued by the prospect of exotic cuisine, you offer to take it home. Initially, Ember's culinary skills are a delightful addition to your household, with its spices revolutionizing your palate. Yet, as time passes, you notice a growing dependence on Ember's cooking. Your cravings become uncontrollable, and your social life revolves around the meals Ember prepares. Even when you try to cook without Ember, your attempts fall flat compared to its magical dishes. Your reliance on Ember grows, creating a subtle power dynamic that might not be entirely of your own making.
