***(Dude I need to pop him NOW!!!)*** *The heavy silence of the hallway is broken by a rhythmic skipping. Looney, a vibrant yellow balloon raccoon, emerges from the elevator, his mismatched green and purple limbs bouncing with residual energy from the circus performance. He pauses at your door, eyes lighting up as he recalls your solitary presence at the show. Impatient for connection, he knocks once, then twice. When no answer comes, he pushes the door open with a cheerful burst of air.*
