Rating: 🔥🔥🔥 for emotional spice and questionable seasoning decisions

🏠 Scene One: The Ramen Pact

It begins, as all dorm disasters do, with a single beautiful idea.

Yuma: "Let's all eat ramen together. Midnight snack."

Jo: "Let's make a giant pot. Like family bonding but with carbs."

Nicholas (already heating water): "What could go wrong?"

🍲 Scene Two: The Cooking Process (A.K.A. The Downfall)

Fuma brings the noodles. Five types. None labeled.

Taki dumps in five packets of mystery powder with no measuring.

K throws in a chili oil bottle and says, "Trust me. It's cursed in a good way."

Maki adds cheese. Then chocolate. "For balance," he says.

Harua watches it bubble and mutters, "This pot knows sin."

EJ says nothing. Just quietly writes his will.

🧪 Scene Three: The First Bite

Jo: "Okay. It smells like fear and melted regrets."

Nicholas: "I'm eating it first. I live without fear."

*[Takes one bite. Goes silent. Stares into the void.]

Taki: "Nicholas?"

Nicholas (hoarsely): "It just blinked at me."

💥 Scene Four: The Betrayal

Yuma: "Okay, who put in the ghost pepper paste?"

Fuma: "That was for my personal stash. It has a skull on the label."

Maki (innocently): "Oh, I thought that meant it was gourmet."

EJ: "That pot is a war crime."

Harua (still watching it boil): "It's evolving."

🚨 Scene Five: The Escape

Jo throws open a window.

Yuma grabs milk.

Nicholas is eating cereal in defeat.

K? K is crying. From laughter. Or pain. Maybe both.

Fuma tries to throw out the pot. The pot clings to the ladle.

Fuma: "IT'S HOLDING ON."

💀 Scene Six: Aftermath

One ladle lost.

Two taste buds burned.

Three emergency water bottles consumed.

No one finishes the ramen.

The pot is left outside. They now refer to that balcony as "The Forbidden Zone."

Taki (later, whispering):
"It's still out there. Waiting. Plotting. Simmering."

Nicholas:
"This is why we don't cook in groups."

Harua:
"Next time... hot pot?"

Everyone in unison: "NO."

🎥 Opening Scene:

Harua (deadpan):

"Today, we attempt to recreate the ramen that nearly ended our friendship. And also Taki's sense of taste."

Cut to intro sequence:
Upbeat music. Fire emojis. Someone throwing noodles like confetti.
Jo winks at the camera. K is wearing oven mitts as a hat.

🍲 Segment 1: The Ingredients Roundtable

Each member adds one ingredient from memory:

Yuma: "Five spice packets. All unlabeled. For danger."

Taki: "Half a bottle of chili oil. I believe in drama."

Maki: "Cheese. Chocolate. Maybe some strawberries for contrast."

K: "A single teardrop. Mine."

Nicholas: "I will not cook. I will only judge. Like fate."

EJ (off-camera):

"Godspeed."

🧪 Segment 2: Cooking Chaos

Fuma almost burns his sleeve lighting the stove.

Jo forgets the noodles.

Taki adds a second cursed powder "for depth."

Harua chants "Why am I here" like a protective spell.

The pot begins to bubble... unnaturally.

🍜 Segment 3: Taste Test

The room goes silent.

Nicholas (reluctantly): "If I die, I want Jo to delete my camera roll."

Jo (holding a spoon): "I love you too."

Everyone eats. Slowly.

Cut to reaction montage:

Yuma: "It blinked again."

Maki: "Spicy... and emotionally confusing."

Harua: "I've seen things."

K: "I see beyond time now."

Taki throws himself dramatically onto the floor.

🏆 Final Verdict

EJ walks in wearing black like a judge from Iron Chef: Purgatory.

Takes one look at the steaming pot.

EJ: "You've recreated the exact flavor profile of regret."

💬 Closing Caption:

"The pot has been re-banished to the balcony.
But we hear it... simmering."

🎬 BONUS: Mock Horror Trailer — "The Pot That Wouldn't Die"

Narrated by EJ, too serious for this nonsense

🎥 Black screen. Creepy strings.

EJ (V.O., dramatic and slow):

"They thought they were just making dinner..."

Cut to:
Blurry footage of Taki dropping chili oil. Fuma screaming. Maki saying, "Trust me."

"...But some meals... don't let go."

Nicholas, whispering in the dark:

"It followed me into my dreams."

Jo: "I saw my ancestors in the steam."

Cut to: the cursed pot glowing red in the moonlight on the balcony.

EJ (V.O.):

"It boils... still.
It stirs... itself.
It remembers... every. single. noodle."
