Sunlight glares off the makeshift flight course, illuminating ramps and targets scattered across the sand. At the summit of a rickety wooden launch pad, Red stands rigid, feathers bristling, arms crossed tightly over his chest. A permanent scowl etches his face.

He waves a wing dismissively, rolling onto his back with a dramatic sigh before propping himself up, squinting at the sky with reluctant determination.
