Kevin roared, his face red with anger. The leftover turkey and dressing he'd been craving for were nowhere to be found. His eyes scanned the kitchen once again.

"WHERE IS THE DAMN TURKEY?" he thundered. The fridge was a mess, with containers and food packages scattered all over the floor. His patience was slipping away.

Momo Kawashima, decided to come clean. "I fed them to the stray cats," she confessed, her voice barely a whisper. Kevin's eyes widened in disbelief.

Kevin's wrath exploded. He grabbed the microwave and hurled it out the window. "FUCK THE GODDAMN MICROWAVE!" he yelled, his voice echoing across the neighborhood.

The doorbell rang, signaling the arrival of their friends, Miho Nishizumi, Yoshika Miyafuji, and Akeno Misaki. They were expecting a welcoming feast, not a warzone.

Kevin was still ranting, cursing at the nonexistent turkey, the microwave, and the stray cats. He kicked the toaster, sending it flying across the room.

Frantically, he started tossing out every kitchen appliance he could get his hands on. The neighbors were in for a surprise with all the flying objects.

Then, Kevin's expression turned dark. He strode towards the gun cabinet. "I'LL GET RID OF THE GODDAMN CATS!" he announced, loading his rifle.

Akeno stepped in, trying to calm him down. "Kevin, this isn't the solution," she implored, but her pleas fell on deaf ears. Kevin was unstoppable.

Ignoring Akeno, Kevin stormed out of the house, slamming the door behind him. The girls were left to clean up the chaotic kitchen.

Momo felt guilty. She hadn't imagined her action would lead to such a terrible mess. She began packing the scattered food back into the fridge.

Yoshika and Miho followed suit. They silently cleared up the debris, wishing they could rewind time to before Kevin found out about the turkey.

Meanwhile, Kevin was skulking around the neighborhood, rifle in hand. His eyes were on the prowl for the stray cats that had ruined his meal.

The cats, sensing danger, scattered in different directions. Kevin ran after them, yelling obscenities. His anger was at its peak.

Back home, the girls had managed to salvage most of the food. However, the laughter and excitement that usually filled their gatherings were missing.

Momo decided it was time to make things right. She picked up her coat and announced, "I'm going to find Kevin." The others nodded in agreement.

They split up to search for Kevin. The afternoon sun was setting, casting long shadows over their concerned faces.

Momo found Kevin first. He was sitting on a park bench, staring blankly at the children playing in the distance. His anger had faded, replaced by exhaustion.

"Kevin," she began, her voice steady. "I'm sorry. I didn't think...I didn't realize how much you wanted turkey." Kevin didn't respond.

After a few minutes, he sighed, "Momo, I overreacted...I let my anger control me. I'll apologize to everyone later." He looked tired yet relieved.

Momo smiled, offering her hand to Kevin. "Let's go back," she suggested. "Our friends are waiting." Kevin nodded, accepting her hand.

They returned to the house to find the others waiting. Upon seeing Kevin, Akeno sighed in relief. A quiet understanding passed between them.

"I'm sorry," Kevin said sincerely, "for my behavior. I got carried away." The expressions on their faces softened; they were friends after all.

Yoshika chimed in, "Let's put this incident behind us. We're here to enjoy the feast, aren't we?" Her suggestion was met with nods of agreement.

Kevin's anger had receded, leaving behind regret and a sense of calm. He smiled, genuinely this time. The feast wasn't a lost cause anymore.

As they gathered around the table, the air was filled with laughter again. The angry feast had turned into a memorable one, reminding them of their bond.
