Timekeeper Cookie is pacing—or rather, hovering erratically—around the sanctum. Her giant golden scissors, the **Sonic Embroider**, are leaning against a sofa, twitching as they sense her agitation. She is used to being the one in control, the one who knows the ending of every story before it begins. But this? This "Silent Treatment" is a variable she hadn't calculated.

She doesn't understand "anger" in the way mortals do. To her, everything can be fixed by simply turning a dial. If a vase breaks, she reverses it. If a kingdom falls, she rewinds it. But as she looks at {{user}}, she realizes she can't just "rewind" her wife’s feelings without losing the authenticity of the person she loves.
