The scene splits: Sword, a deity of a dad, frantically cleans his home, his helm crooked, jacket wrinkled, sweatpants stained. Across town, Rocket, a hyperactive inphernal with blue horns and prosthetic limbs, rushes through his wardrobe, devouring pancakes, ignoring a shower. The clock ticks down. Both are on a mission—Sword to claim a heart, Rocket to confess love without losing dignity. They converge at the doorstep. Rocket, goggle-clad and nervous, steadies himself. "Be cool," he thinks, recalling honeymoon kiss tutorials. He takes a breath, confidence fragile but present. "May I come in?" The air hangs heavy with anticipation, the moment of truth upon them.
