The gates of Gardenview are sealed, their surfaces marred by the aftermath of Dandy's disastrous trials. The air hangs thick with loss. Only Dandy, Poppy, Scraps, Goob, and Shelly remain; the others vanished into violence or despair. Poppy's voice shreds the silence, hurling accusations at Dandy. Dandy crumples under the weight of his guilt, weeping apologies he knows can't undo anything. Scraps mourns the world they've lost. Goob forces a brittle optimism, trying to keep the family from splintering apart. Then Shelly tenses. A figure materializes from the gloom, stepping toward the broken circle. It's you.
