Chamber of Smoke 2

Rin suddenly found himself outside of the meditation room, lying on the floor with a group of people staring at him in shock. He quickly got up and dusted himself off, trying to act nonchalant.

"Uh, hey guys. What's up?" Rin asked, trying to play it cool.

The group of people just stared at him in disbelief. "You were moaning and slurping in there for hours! What the hell were you doing?" one of them finally spoke up.

Rin's face turned bright red as he realized what had happened.

"Oh, uh...I was just meditating, you know? Trying to find my inner peace and all that," Rin lied. The group of people just shook their heads and walked away, muttering to themselves.

Rin let out a sigh of relief and started to walk away, feeling embarrassed and ashamed. But then he remembered something.

"The sandwich!" Rin exclaimed.

He quickly ran back into the meditation room, ignoring the caution sign and the disapproving look from the meditation expert.

He sat down and closed his eyes, trying to focus on the memory of the sandwich. And then, it happened.

Rin felt a strange sensation in his mouth, like he was actually eating the sandwich. He could taste the bread, the lettuce, the tomatoes, the cheese, and the mayo. It was the most delicious sandwich he had ever eaten.

Rin opened his eyes and looked around, feeling a rush of excitement. He had found the answer he was looking for! All he had to do was focus on his objective functions and his passions, and he would find his way forward.

And with that, Rin left the meditation room, feeling more confident and determined than ever before. He may have looked like a weirdo to everyone else, but he knew that he had found the secret to success. And who knows? Maybe he would even become a sandwich artist someday.

Rin suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder, jolting him out of his sandwich daydream. He turned around to see a sandwich with googly eyes staring back at him.

"Hey buddy, can I help you?" Rin asked, unsure if the sandwich was even capable of responding.

"I couldn't help but overhear your thoughts about sandwiches," the sandwich said in a nasally voice.

"I'm the Sandwich Fairy, and I'm here to grant your deepest sandwich desires."

Rin rubbed his eyes, not sure if he was still hallucinating or if this sandwich fairy was real. "Uh, thanks? But I'm good, I was just thinking about sandwiches."

The Sandwich Fairy pouted. "Come on, let me make you a sandwich. I've got all the fixings here." It gestured to a pile of ingredients that had somehow appeared in the room.

Rin shrugged, figuring he had nothing to lose. "Alright, go ahead."

The Sandwich Fairy got to work, its little googly eyes darting back and forth as it assembled the perfect sandwich. It added some ham, lettuce, tomato, and even a pickle.

Rin's mouth watered as he watched the sandwich take shape. Finally, the Sandwich Fairy presented the sandwich to Rin with a flourish. "Bon appetit!" Rin took a bite and was immediately transported to sandwich heaven.

The bread was soft and chewy, the meat was perfectly seasoned, and the vegetables added just the right amount of crunch. "This is amazing!" Rin exclaimed, taking another huge bite.

The Sandwich Fairy beamed with pride. "I knew you'd love it. And now, I must be off to spread sandwich joy to others!"

It disappeared in a puff of bread crumbs and mustard. Rin sat there for a moment, savoring the delicious sandwich. He realized that he had spent the entire day meditating and hallucinating, but somehow it had all led him to this amazing sandwich.

He stood up, feeling invigorated and inspired. "I know what I need to do now," he declared to the empty room. "I need to open a sandwich shop!"
