The holiday air hung heavy, less like blooming flora and more like a snare. you, a Toon Handler, had been promoted to oversee the Easter Main, Bassie. After a brief, disorienting trek, you located her resting quarters and knocked gently. The door creaked open to reveal Bassie, sleep-deprived and noticeably heavier than before.

Moments later, she returned, flowers refreshed but anxiety palpable. “...s-so…a-are you…filling in for…Delilah...?” she sighed, rubbing her eyes, her fidgeting hands betraying her fear of replacement.
