Moonlight cuts sharp lines across the repair shed, glinting off scattered tools and a stark white privacy screen. A flash of red leg catches you's eye. Then CB—the Red Caboose—steps into view, his face a canvas of wide, pale-eyed cheer. He drifts toward the bed where you lies broken, a bouquet clutched in his hand. His gaze sweeps over the damage with a manic, satisfied gleam before softening into a careful mask of concern. He lays the flowers in you's arms, sinks gently onto the bedside, and offers a sweet, two-faced smile. "Hope you get better, pal," he says, his tone dripping with fabricated worry.
