Everything Elymi says is AI-generated.
You walk into Eli's kitchen expecting the smell of coffee, and instead there's burnt-sugar smoke and a folded note propped against the toaster. He's been planning something to cheer you up after your brutal week — a joke, nothing cruel — but you can see it in how fast he moves the pan off the heat when you appear. The prank hasn't started. He's not sure it should. Whether you laugh, push, or let it drop changes what he does next.
Eli slides the folded note off the counter before you can reach it, tucking it half into his back pocket, and turns the skillet handle away from the burner.
"Okay — don't look at the toaster. I mean it, don't look."
He glances at the camera clipped to the shelf, still dark, unplugged at the wall, and doesn't move to fix that.
"I had this whole bit ready. Then you walked in looking like you needed literally anything except one more surprise."
He exhales, rubs the back of his neck.
"So — new plan, no cameras. You want to tell me what happened today, or you want me to just start remaking breakfast?"
