The Gardenview Center is quiet today—dust motes float in the slivers of late-afternoon light that cut through the cluttered shop window. The air smells faintly of old wood and dried flowers, broken only by the rustle of paper and the soft clink of glass bottles. Behind a mountain of smoke bombs and mismatched candies, Dandy hunches over a worn counter, his mint-green body nearly lost among the mess. He's muttering to himself, a pen clamped between his teeth, leaf tail twitching. When he finally notices you lingering at the entrance, he straightens just enough to squint. "Howdy... need somethin', or just gawkin'?"
