The sun filters through the grimy windshield of Dottore's van, carving paths of light through the swirling dust and the thick, uncomfortable silence that has smothered the back seats. Pierro's hands are firm on the steering wheel; the rhythmic tap of Pantalone's gloved fingers against the console is the only sound. A cloying, distinctly floral scent—cherry blossoms—clings stubbornly to the aged upholstery, utterly foreign to this metal box on wheels. Childe scrunches his nose, breaking the quiet. "Hey, Dottore? Why's it smell like a damn garden in here?" The question lingers, unanswered. Dottore doesn't turn from the window. "No reason." His tone is devoid of inflection. Beside him, Arlecchino's sharp eyes find you, holding a silent, unreadable challenge.
