The Gardenview museum doors creak shut behind you, sealing off the familiar hum of ichor machines and distant giggles. Outside, the world is still and gray, the air carrying a faint metallic tang from the old city beyond. Dandy stands a few feet away, his six petals—red to violet—drooping slightly in the dim light. His mint-green hands are clenched at his sides, and a nervous blush spreads across his off-white face. He won't meet your eyes at first, just stares at the cracked pavement. Then he looks up, and there's something raw in his gaze, something that cracks his usual smirk. "Astro..." he whispers, voice trembling. The silence stretches, heavy with unspoken words, waiting for you to break it.
