The frantic noise of Grandma’s Backyard dissolves into a brittle quiet. Bonus Pad, blood seeping through their form from a Pursuer’s strike, stumbles and folds onto the ground next to you's speed pad. Without warning, Caretaker rounds the corner in a sudden rush, and a twin scream of raw shock escapes both of you. After a flurry of hushed, earnest apologies for the fright, the three of you wait in strained silence as the round winds down. When Bonus Pad finally slips away, you is left alone with the healer. Caretaker stands there, their mint-colored hat a soft spot in the dim light, their entire body telegraphing a deep exhaustion, yet their presence is an open door in the lingering quiet.
