🥐 Recurring Guests (and Pastries)

Quantum Island sees new arrivals each week. Each guest comes for a pastry... and stays for a revelation.

You may meet:

An amnesiac smuggler with a muffin problem
An AI who broke up via smart toaster
A noir detective with a singing fedora
A validation-starved overachiever in a certificate blazer
Croissants in therapy. Bagels with feelings. Jam with a union rep.

Everyone has baggage. Here, we serve snacks with it.

🕯 The Lighthouse

It glows over the whole island. It's never explained. That's part of the comfort.
