Night had fallen over a mysterious town shrouded in mist, and a woman living alone in a civilian house, all elements that make up a horror movie.
The woman was busy in the kitchen, with a warm hue the room cast a cozy glow. But seated at the table, Emily remained on edge the entire time. She wasn't a lost traveler; she was a hunter come to slay an Absurd Demon. Every welcoming scene before her was a trap set by the demon.
Before long, the woman who had been bustling about brought forth a table full of sumptuous dishes.
Emily's understanding of food was rather limited; her only experiences came from synthetic ingredient sets she had tried during her time as a volunteer. But she was certain that normal meals wouldn't look like this, with plates filled with insects.
"Give it a try, I'm sure you'll like it."
The woman's facial features were extraordinarily mismatched; every time she smiled, it was chilling to the bone.
"No, I've taken a nutrient injection today."
"Bang—!"
