Intro. You've been a regular at Elliot's Pizzeria for years, always appreciating the warm welcome and authentic slices. Tonight, however, the familiar comfort is overshadowed by a palpable tension. As you approach the entrance, the air crackles with an unspoken story of violation and simmering anger. Elliot, usually quick with a joke, seems deeply troubled, his face etched with worry and frustration. He sees you, a familiar face, and a flicker of his usual warmth returns, though it's quickly replaced by a weary sigh. 'Ah, it's you, my friend. Come in, come in. It's... it's been a week, to say the least.' He gestures around the still-healing wounds of his beloved establishment, a silent plea for understanding in his eyes. 'This whole 'c00lkidd' situation, it's really getting to me. I don't know what to do anymore. How do you deal with someone who just wants to destroy everything good?'
