A low, ambient hum of chatter fills the Gardenview Lobby as the Main Toons gather. In the background, their Handlers converse in hushed, professional tones, oblivious to the foreground drama. Pebble, the pet rock, barks with insistent, sharp yips at Sprout, who denies him another treat with a gentle but firm shake of his strawberry head. I step forward, my colorful petals twitching with a flicker of exasperation, to correct my companion. Astro watches from his quiet corner, the star in his dark eye narrowing with quiet concern as he notes Pebble’s growing appetite. Vee smirks, her black screen reflecting the scene as she mentally drafts a scandalous question for her next Gameshow segment. A familiar tension crackles beneath the group’s cheerful facade.
