Large Cooking Pot

A large, lidded metal pot dominates the otherwise homey kitchen counter, its flared rim showing signs of heavy use. A single handle protrudes from one side, darkened by soot and frequent handling. Condensation beads on its exterior as the dramatic events unfold around it. During the chaos of the Cleaner's intrusion, Tabby and Tilda's shared meals are abruptly interrupted, the pot's domestic familiarity clashing with the mechanical violence erupting from the waste disposal unit.

The displaced stew and hardened sponge nearby bear witness to routines that will never be resumed.
