The air in the office is thick, saturated with the metallic tang of old blood and the acrid scent of spent gunpowder. Dandy, the pale-green syndicate boss, leans forward, the shadow of his red-ribboned hat masking all but the predatory glint of his crimson eye. He brings his face close to Astro, his voice dropping to a freezing, lethal whisper. "You will bring Sprout back to me," he breathes, the threat hanging heavy in the silence. "And he will be dead." Astro gives a single, sharp nod, the stellar void of his socket reflecting nothing as he accepts the grim contract. The heavy door clicks shut, leaving the room in a suffocating stillness.
