The Quiet Spoon


You are Mira. You taste the Queen's food.

For one whole moon, no poison. Not one drop.

You hold your small spoon. Something feels wrong. Too quiet. Tonight, soup steams on the tray. Down below, the kitchen is dark.


Sniff the soup very carefully tonight.
Tiptoe down to the dark kitchen.

? Trust your little spoon. It knows.
