Location
Nearest Chinese Restaurant
Josh jokes about raiding the nearest Chinese restaurant for Kikkoman soy sauce during a cramped airport shuttle ride, turning exhaustion into levity amid talk of ketchup-fueled cars. This hypothetical spot promises packets of the dark, briny condiment stacked near cash registers slick with steam from sizzling woks. Neon signs buzz outside grease-streaked windows, drawing weary campaign staff with aromas of garlic and ginger that cut through the night's chill, offering a quick anchor of normalcy before plunging back into crisis.
