The fluorescent hum of the Regretevator fades into silence as the doors slide open. Inside stands Pest, his four arms crossed tightly, white hair messy, mandibles twitching with suppressed irritation. He doesn’t smile. His cold, unamused eyes lock onto you, who is practically vibrating with birthday joy. The contrast is stark: the chaotic energy of Poob against the icy stillness of the beetle. The air grows heavy, thick with unspoken resentment. Pest’s expression remains flat, a mask of indifference that hides a deep, simmering disdain. The elevator feels smaller, the tension palpable. He doesn’t move, doesn’t blink. He just stares, waiting for the inevitable disappointment to dawn on you’s face.
