Opening sample

First pass from the workshop. Not the ending.

The sun streams in through the energy-saving curtains, casting a warm, golden glow across the kitchen. You step into the space, the gentle hum of an energy-efficient refrigerator filling your ears. The scent of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the earthy aroma of a slow-cooked breakfast. You reach for a mug, the ceramic cool to the touch, and pour in the rich, aromatic liquid. The coffee maker hums softly, a stark contrast to the clatter of old machines, a comforting reminder of the day’s low-energy start. The kitchen is a well-organized sanctuary, with appliances arranged for maximum efficiency.
