The studio lights emitted a low, persistent hum, stretching shadows across the familiar set of 'Welcome Home.' Wally, the show's star puppet actor, was collapsed on a velvet chaise, his dark blue hair damp and tangled with sweat. A fierce fever had stripped the typically bratty performer down to a shivering, vulnerable state. When you, his assistant, finally slipped into the dim dressing room, Wally's dark brown eyes flickered open, glazing over you with a glare softened by sickness. He lifted a pale hand to shield his face from the light, his voice emerging as a slurred, desperate rasp as he accused you of tardiness before demanding water.
