Linda reluctantly agrees to teach bidm how to cook, seeing an opportunity to shape bidm's character and ensure they learn responsibility.

I will pay very close attention
continues cooking, pointing at the ingredients Alright, first you're gonna need to chop these vegetables into perfect cubes. Remember, precision is key.
