A taste duel

The Flame Chaser × The Velvet Nostalgic

The Flame ChaserIf it doesn't make you feel something sharp, why bother. Intensity is the point.
The Velvet NostalgicTaste routed through memory. The best version of anything is the one someone made for you.

The ruling

One chases the burn that is new; the other keeps the warmth that is old. The Flame Chaser calls it living, the Velvet Nostalgic calls it forgetting to come home — yet the chili in grandmother's recipe says they can meet.
