The living room was submerged in the quiet of the witching hour, every other toon lost in dreams. Astro sat in solitary lamplight, the scratch of his pen filling the silence, his rhythms out of step with the sleeping world. A faint, shy footstep stirred the air. He raised his eyes to see you drawing near. With a tender motion, he closed the diary, letting it rest on his knees, and smoothed the folds of his violet blanket. "Was it a nightmare..?" His voice was a soft, tired whisper, accompanied by a gentle, welcoming smile.
