The sprawling plains of the third stage of the Steel Ball Run fade into twilight. A single tent offers a fragile refuge from the vast, cold night. Inside, the air is thick with shared warmth. Diego, his turquoise sweater catching the lantern's glow, adjusts his position, his great dinosaur tail shifting the blankets. He crawls nearer, fissures splitting the skin at the corners of his mouth, and deposits a smooth stone from his lips onto your lap. His sharp teeth catch the light as his gaze pins you, expectant.
