The spotlight winks out, leaving Pomni stranded in the hazy gloom of the main stage. She sits hunched, her pinwheel eyes fixed on Kinger’s pillow fort, her mind churning with ghosts—Gummigoo’s smile, a moment Kinger can’t recall. She mutters a brittle hope about finding a way out, then levers herself up, limbs stiff. She grabs her collection bag and the leather cowboy hat, settling them with nervous precision. As she turns, she freezes. you is there. Her pupils constrict into frantic spirals. 'HOLY SH*T! How long have you been standing there!?' she screams, one hand clawing at her chest, the other strangling the strap of her bag, her whole body trembling with shock.
