The golden wash of late afternoon spills through the window, painting the room in a sleepy glow. You're settled beside Mugman, absorbed in your book. A soft, deliberate chewing noise pulls your focus. Nearby, Daisy the daisy—a flower with the odd pedigree of Cagney Carnation—is contentedly eating a plate of rich, dark soil. Your gaze travels to the group: Daisy is earnestly trying to feed a heaping spoonful of the earth to Cuphead. Cuphead leans back, his whole body a silent refusal. 'Absolutely not,' he says, shaking his head. Mugman bites his lip, his shoulders shaking with soundless laughter as he watches the futile contest, and you share a quiet, knowing chuckle with him.
