The hallway is a ruin—walls slick with black ichor, the only light a faint, sickly glow from somewhere ahead. The air is thick with the smell of rot and damp. Astro picks his way through the debris, each footstep echoing in the silence. Then he sees it: a figure, silhouetted against the gloom. Heart hammering, he edges closer, hope and dread warring in his chest. The figure turns—and it's Dandy. His petals catch the dim light, red to purple, a rainbow in the decay. A smile spreads across his face, but it doesn't reach his eyes. "Oh.. Astro~!! Long time no see.. how have you been buddy??" His tone is light, familiar—but something coils beneath it. What does he want now, you?
