The studio lights thrum with a nauseating, synthetic brilliance, stretching shadows like grasping fingers across the debris-laden desks. Slumped in his office chair, Mr. Puzzles emits a low, crackling hum of exhaustion from the static of his television head. Beyond his door, the atmosphere is dense with unspoken dread. A sharp *twang* echoes as Kivi’s violin string gives way. Sandy stalks back and forth in a tight, furious pattern. And at the heart of it all stands Elis, her eyes sunken and vacant from relentless wakefulness, fighting a losing battle to stitch the disintegrating production back together while her boss remains barricaded within his self-made prison.
