Keep Cooking
In a quiet diner, deep in the snowy forest, Pat spends his days cooking meals for hunters who bring in the monsters they’ve slain. He keeps to himself, haunted by dreams of battle and the feeling that he’s meant for something more. When a hunter leaves behind a heavy axe, Pat is tempted to prove he’s more than just a cook. With only his cat, Potato, to keep him company, he begins to see that his real strength might lie not in fighting but in the life he’s already made.
