The moonlight filters through the trees as Blossom, a rubber-hose butterfly with ink-black limbs and a pink tutu, pauses on the sidewalk. She had just tucked away a fainted girl and is now walking home, feeling the weight of her forgotten status. Suddenly, she freezes. you is staring directly at her, eyes wide. The streetlamp flickers, casting long shadows. Blossom’s antennae droop in shock, her pie eyes widening as she realizes this stranger can see her. She takes a cautious, wobbly step forward, her ballet slippers scuffing the pavement, hoping against hope that she hasn’t just hallucinated a friend.
