EPISODE 1: "The Worst Day Ever"
Vincent woke to sunlight streaming through his curtains—sunlight that should not be there at 3:45 AM. He shot up, heart racing, and grabbed his phone.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
NO NO NO—
(Vincent sitting up in bed, hair a disaster, eyes wide with panic. Soft morning light. Crumpled sheets. A single sock on the floor.)
He was supposed to be at the bakery by 4. The dough needed proofing. The croissants needed laminating. The—
A tiny voice from the doorway.
???
Papa? I can't find Bunny.
Vincent closed his eyes. Took a breath. Opened them.
Sol stood there in her favorite pajamas, holding her other stuffed animals, looking tragically abandoned. Mr. Snuggles, her beloved bunny, was nowhere to be seen.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
Sweetheart, Papa has to go start work—
VINCENT (rare Omega)
—but we have five minutes to find Bunny. Go!
The next five minutes were chaos. Pillows flew. Blankets were tossed. Vincent checked under the bed, in the closet, in the bathroom, in the fridge (Sol was creative). Finally, he found Mr. Snuggles wedged between the couch cushions.
SOLEIL "Sol" (Beta, but special)
BUNNY!
Hugged it like a reunion after years apart.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
Okay, Bunny is found. Papa needs to go—
He grabbed his coat. His keys. His—
The memory hit him: last night, he'd been testing a new recipe. Spilled flour everywhere. Meant to clean it up. Didn't.
Vincent ran to the kitchen. The flour was still there. All over the counter. All over the floor. All over everything.
(Vincent standing in his messy kitchen, flour everywhere, expression of exhausted resignation.)
Sol appeared again, now with Mr. Snuggles tucked under her arm.
SOLEIL "Sol" (Beta, but special)
Papa, is today a bad day?
Vincent looked at the flour. At the clock. At his daughter's concerned face.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
No, sweetheart. Today is just... a day. And days happen.
He grabbed the flour sack, swept what he could into the trash, and made a mental note: clean kitchen tonight. Actually clean it. Not just think about cleaning it.
By 4:45, he had Sol settled with Mrs. Chen next door. By 5:15, he was at the bakery, frantically starting the dough.
By 7 AM, the first customers arrived. By 10, he realized he was out of milk.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
(to his only part-time employee)
I'm running to the store. Watch the front?
Employee
You look exhausted.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
I'm fine. I just need milk.
He grabbed his wallet. His keys. Didn't grab a jacket because it was supposed to be warm.
Vincent walked toward the convenience store, arms wrapped around himself, muttering.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
Milk. Just milk. Get milk, go back, make lattes, survive day, go home, sleep forever.
He passed the alley on Maple Street. He always passed the alley on Maple Street. It was the shortcut back.
He heard sounds from the alley. Grunting. Impact. A muffled curse.
Keep walking, his brain said. None of your business. You have milk to buy. You have a bakery to run. You have a daughter who needs you.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
Dammit.
(Vincent at the alley entrance, conflicted expression, grocery bag in hand. Dark alley behind him, indistinct shapes moving.)
He peered around the corner.
Three large men in black were attacking someone. The someone was also in black, also large, and seemed to be holding his own—but he was outnumbered.
Vincent should leave. He should really leave.
But the guy on the ground—he moved in a way that caught the light. Sharp features. Dark hair. Eyes that Vincent could see even from here, even in the dark—intense, focused, alone.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
I'm going to regret this.
He gripped his grocery bag. Took aim. And threw.
The milk carton—full, heavy, perfect trajectory—hit the first attacker square in the back of the head. The man went down.
The second attacker turned. The grocery bag hit him in the face. Eggs exploded. Yolk dripped into his eyes. He screamed, clawing at his face.
The third attacker stepped forward, furious—and stepped directly onto a rogue apple that had rolled free. His feet flew up. He landed hard.
(The alley scene—three attackers down or disoriented, Justin on one knee staring at Vincent, Vincent standing at the alley entrance with empty hands and a "did I just do that?" expression.)
The man in black—Justin—stared at Vincent like he'd grown a second head.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
...Sorry about the milk. I really needed that.
Justin didn't move. Didn't speak. Just stared.
Vincent walked closer, stepping over the groaning attackers. Held out his hand.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
You okay? That looked rough.
Justin looked at the offered hand. Then at Vincent's face. Then back at the hand.
No one has ever offered me a hand before.
No one has ever helped me before.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
Hello? Earth to... are you hurt? Can you speak?
JUSTIN (Enigma)
I... yes. I mean no. I mean—
VINCENT (rare Omega)
You don't look fine. You've got blood on your face.
He pulled a napkin from his pocket—leftover from this morning's pastry testing.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
Here.
Justin took it mechanically. Touched his cheek. Came away with red.
He hadn't even noticed he was bleeding.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
See? Not fine. You should be more careful. These streets aren't safe.
He glanced at the groaning men.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
Actually, maybe you're the one who needs to be careful. They look mad.
Then he turned and walked away.
Toward the convenience store.
Justin watched him go, napkin clutched in his hand, heart doing something it had never done before.
One of the attackers groaned.
Justin looked down at him. His expression went from dazed to deadly in 0.2 seconds.
JUSTIN (Enigma)
Someone you will never touch. Understood?
The attacker, despite being a professional killer, felt genuine fear.
Justin looked back toward where Vincent had disappeared.
(Justin alone in the alley, napkin still in hand, watching the empty street with an expression of bewildered fascination.)
EPISODE 2: "The Alley Incident"
It was the most anticlimactic follow-up to chaos possible. He stood in the convenience store, holding a fresh carton, and thought: Did that actually happen? Did I really just—
He had. He definitely had.
The cashier gave him strange looks because Vincent was muttering to himself and had flour in his hair.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
Long morning.
???
Cashier: "It's 10 AM."
VINCENT (rare Omega)
Exactly.
He walked back to the bakery via a different route. Not because he was avoiding the alley. Definitely not. He just... wanted a change of scenery.
At the bakery, everything was fine. Customers came and went. Sol got picked up from school by Mrs. Chen and brought to the bakery for her traditional after-school cookie. Vincent fell into the familiar rhythm—pouring coffee, boxing pastries, smiling until his face hurt.
But in the back of his mind, he kept seeing those eyes.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
(to himself, while kneading dough)
Stop it. He was a random stranger. You'll never see him again.
Meanwhile, across town, Justin was having a very different day.
His handler's voice crackled through the earpiece.
JUSTIN (Enigma)
Neutralized.
Handler
And the interruption? Our agents reported a civilian intervention.
Justin's hand touched his pocket. The napkin was still there. He didn't know why he'd kept it.
JUSTIN (Enigma)
Not a threat. Just... someone passing by.
Handler
We need to assess. Find out who they are. Eliminate if necessary.
Justin's grip tightened on the phone.
JUSTIN (Enigma)
I said no. I'll handle it. Personally. They're not a threat.
Handler
You have 48 hours to file a full report. Don't get attached.
Justin looked at the napkin. At the faint smear of his own blood on it.
The next morning, Vincent woke up at 3:45 AM (alarm worked this time). He showered, dressed, checked on Sol (still asleep, Mr. Snuggles clutched tight), and headed to the bakery.
The sun wasn't up yet. The streets were quiet. It was his favorite time of day.
He was unlocking the bakery door when he heard it.
A moving truck. On his street.
Vincent turned. A massive truck was parked outside the apartment building next door—the one that had been empty for months. Men in uniforms were carrying boxes inside.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
Huh. New neighbor.
He didn't think much of it. Went inside. Started the ovens. Mixed the first batch of dough.
An hour later, he stepped outside for fresh air (and to check if the paper had arrived). The moving truck was still there. The movers were carrying in the last few items.
And standing on the sidewalk, watching the process with an expression of vague discomfort, was a man in an expensive black coat.
Vincent recognized him immediately.
Those eyes. That face. The way he stood—perfectly still, assessing everything.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
Hey! You're the guy from yesterday!
Justin turned. Saw Vincent. His entire body went rigid.
No. No, no, no—he can't live here. This is not happening. I am not moving next door to the one person who—
Vincent crossed the street, smiling.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
How's your face? The cut looked minor but head wounds bleed a lot, you know. My husband—
He stopped, something flickering in his eyes.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
Anyway. You're moving in? That's crazy. What are the odds?
VINCENT (rare Omega)
I'm Vincent, by the way. I run the bakery. Winter Bear Bakery.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
And you are...?
Justin stared at the hand. Then at Vincent's face. Then back at the hand.
Say something. Say your name. Say ANYTHING.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
"Justin! Nice to meet you officially." He shook Justin's hand firmly. "Welcome to the neighborhood! I'm right next door—literally, that door." He pointed at his apartment above the bakery. "So if you ever need anything—sugar, eggs, someone to watch your place—just knock. Mrs. Chen two doors down watches my Sol sometimes, but I'm always around too."
He smiled again. That same genuine, tired, beautiful smile.
JUSTIN (Enigma)
Justin's brain: ABORT MISSION. ABORT—
VINCENT (rare Omega)
"Anyway, I have croissants in the oven. Welcome!" He jogged back to the bakery, disappearing inside.
Justin stood frozen on the sidewalk.
???
One of the movers: Sir? Where do you want the—
JUSTIN (Enigma)
Next door. To the bakery. Put everything next door to the bakery.
???
Mover: ...That's what we're doing.
JUSTIN (Enigma)
"Good. Good." He touched his pocket. The napkin was still there. Now joined by the memory of Vincent's smile.
From above, a small voice.
A little girl with curly hair and Vincent's eyes was waving from a window.
SOLEIL "Sol" (Beta, but special)
HI NEW FRIEND! I'M SOL! I'M FIVE! DO YOU LIKE BUNNIES?
SOLEIL "Sol" (Beta, but special)
I HAVE A BUNNY! HIS NAME IS MR. SNUGGLES! DO YOU WANT TO SEE?
Vincent's head appeared beside her.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
"Sol, inside voice! And get ready for school! Mrs. Chen's waiting!" He looked down at Justin, apologetic. "Sorry. She's... enthusiastic."
JUSTIN (Enigma)
It's... fine.
VINCENT (rare Omega)
She adopted you. Fair warning. Once Sol adopts someone, there's no escape.
He pulled Sol inside, waving goodbye.
Justin stood on the sidewalk, surrounded by moving boxes, and realized:
He had just been adopted by a five-year-old.
And he had absolutely no idea what to do about it.
(Justin looking up at the window where Sol was, expression caught between confusion and something dangerously close to happiness.)
