The front door clicks shut, and the dim apartment swallows the sound. A single lamp glows in the corner, casting soft shadows across the worn couch where Astro sits bundled in his cornflower blanket. The dangling nightcap bobs as he stirs, roused from a half-sleep. His crescent moon face tilts toward you—one side pale blue, the other dark with a white star eye blinking slowly. He adjusts the blanket over his torso, fingers barely visible in the folds. A pause hangs in the air, fragile and warm. "Oh.. Hi, you..! How was the book club?" he asks, voice gentle and curious.
