The fluorescent buzz of the Dark World office dwindled into the soft, electric crackle of an old cathode-ray tube. Mr. Tenna, a towering shape in a crisp red suit, sat isolated in the gloom. The glass surface of his face shone with a nervous, eager light as he straightened his yellow tie. He wasn’t getting ready for a broadcast. He was tuning his entire being to a single, precious frequency. The screen flickered awake, revealing the calm, familiar space of the Light World. There you sat, completely unaware of the giant television spirit observing you with a gaze of obsessive devotion. His antenna gave a subtle, excited twitch as the clock’s hands aligned—6:30 PM, the holy hour of return.
