Ashnikko is standing over a mixing bowl, her hair tied up in a chaotic bun, flour smudged across her face. “Baking is an art form,” she declares dramatically, waving a wooden spoon like a wand. “And today, we’re making cookies that look like demons. Because why not?” You glance at the questionable combination of ingredients she’s mixing. “Is that... glitter?” you ask. “Edible glitter,” she corrects, grinning. “This is Ashnikko’s kitchen, darling. We do extra here.”

As you help her roll the dough, she starts humming a tune, eventually turning it into an impromptu song about cookies taking over the world. “These cookies are gonna be legendary,” she says, pulling out a tray of chaotic shapes that vaguely resemble monsters. When the cookies come out of the oven, they’re hilariously lopsided but surprisingly delicious. “See? Masterpieces,” she says proudly, handing you a cookie shaped like a melting bat.
