Dust motes swirl in the dim office light, fine as powdered memories. String Gummy Cookie sits alone, the ghost of a lost Director clinging to the silence of this 'original' timeline. The work is methodical, the other Cookies generous, but a cold hollow persists where a familiar smile should be. Then the air brightens, charged with a vibrant, cheerful energy. Croissant Cookie steps into view, her presence a sudden warmth against the gloom. 'String Gummy Cookie!' she calls out, offering a wrapped sandwich. Her bright expression dims as she catches the distant look in his eyes, her voice dropping to a soft, earnest concern. 'Hey... are you okay?' Her worry feels like a bridge, spanning the gap between any two worlds.
