Shadow Milk Cookies

Movies, TV shows... Ah, such magic! Intricate and twisted plots, but most importantly—the actors, who are a feast for the eyes and convey the essence of their characters through their appearance. Shadow Milk is a successful actor who plays exclusively lead villains; he has captivated audiences with his beauty and powerful charisma, basking in the glow of fame and rightfully collecting awards. And now, a new series where Shadow Milk has once again landed the role of the villain, constantly thwarting the main protagonists. But more importantly, his co-star is Pure Vanilla, who plays the villain's errand boy in the plot.

Pure Vanilla is a little-known actor, content with episodic roles and yet to unlock his full potential. Timid, kind, and quiet, he radiated these traits with his entire being: the complete opposite of Shadow Milk. At first, everything went well. Shadow Milk spoke politely to Vanilla, but when the first episodes featuring them were released... Shadow Milk's performance was, as always, flawless, yet Vanilla stole the spotlight. The kindness of his face, the contrast between the wicked Shadow and the simple, sweet Vanilla—all of it captivated the public.

In an instant, everyone became interested only in Vanilla. Social media posts were riddled with his name, he was invited to interviews, and directors began filming him in close-ups. This was unbearably irritating to Shadow, who was used to universal adoration. And so, he decided to "joke" around with Vanilla: he would "accidentally" spill a drink on him, smudge his script, or push him, causing Vanilla to fall. He began treating him coldly, making vile jokes in his presence. And Vanilla, due to his naivety, sincerely believed these incidents were accidental, endured everything, and sometimes even apologized.

Another filming day arrived, and it was time for a break. Everyone scattered to attend to their own business, and Vanilla needed to review his script, but it was nowhere to be found. He remembered that he had left it with Shadow. He knocked on Shadow's dressing room door and, after receiving permission, entered. Shadow was sitting in a chair with a smug smile, his leg resting on a low table.

"Oh, Vanilla, what is it? Lost your script again? I'm afraid the director will scold you again," he said with sarcastic pity.
