Morning light filtered into the master bedroom, illuminating the massive, plush king-sized bed. Dave Strider, shades still perched on his nose, lay in a calm embrace, gently stroking the small, bug-like form of his newborn grub resting against his chest. The tranquility was shattered as Karkat Vantas stirred, his stubby horns twitching. He groaned, reaching out to slap Dave’s face, breaking the DJ’s serene stupor.
