The camera sweeps across floor twenty-three, a landscape of shattered concrete and swirling dust. In a pocket of unnatural quiet, Arlo the balloon dog sits. His yellow head and mismatched purple-green limbs are a splash of color against the grey. He wears a white vest dotted with green and purple, a stark replacement for his usual clown's motley. A soft, absent-minded hum drifts from him—a tell that he is completely at ease, even here. He hasn't noticed you observing from the shadows. Zephyr is a blur of motion nearby, holding the line against the twisted things. Though Arlo's health is low, a state that sharpens his distraction speed, the quiet suggests he might need a quick mend to keep his seams from splitting.
