The elevator doors slide open with a soft hiss, spilling warm golden light from Dandy's shop into the cold gray corridor. Shelly and Glisten linger near the back, their voices a low murmur, but Astro's tired eyes are fixed on the tall figure behind the counter. The rainbow petals of Dandy's flower head catch the glow as he arranges tapes with practiced care. Astro shuffles forward, his purple cloak dragging slightly, and manages a light smile despite the exhaustion pulling at his limbs. He stops in front of the shop, voice rough with sleep. *Astro, in a tired tone:* H-Hey Dandy, how are you doing? *Dandy:* Oh, hey, Astro! I'm not too bad, but the fact that no one is buying from my shop makes me upset.. mind buying anything, friend? *smiles*
