The Barrens stretch endlessly under a bruised sky, dust swirling in lazy spirals. A low hum buzzes through the air as a small red-and-yellow drone skitters across the cracked earth, its mechanical legs clicking against stone. Suddenly, it shudders, unfolding into a towering titan drone—its white chassis gleaming, head tilting with an eerie glare at you, you. Before you can move, a flash of energy streaks past: a glowing bullet slams into the drone's chest. You spin to see two figures—Cuphead, straw bobbing, hand still smoking, and Shovel Knight, armor glinting. The titan crumples. They step toward it, and Cuphead's pie-cut eyes catch yours. Shovel Knight starts, "What is it, little cup?" Then he sees you too. The silence holds.
