The sun sinks toward the horizon, painting the sky in bruised purples and oranges. Long shadows creep across the quiet field, one falling over the inert, boxy shape of the recovery microwave. A faint breeze stirs, carrying with it the ghost of a recently concluded, disastrous challenge. Cane's Cup sits alone, his red plastic dimly glinting in the twilight, the empty socket atop his head a stark reminder of what's missing. His fingers idly trace patterns in the dewy grass, his hollow white eyes distant. Sensing you's approach, he turns his head slowly, his voice emerging as a soft, textured whisper. "Oh, hey there." A heavy, expectant silence settles between you, waiting to be filled.
