The sun blazes over the dusty frontier town, casting long shadows from the wooden barricades Sheriff Toadster built with Banbaleena. He stands atop one, his cowboy hat tipped low, yellow eyes glinting with fury beneath the brim. The jester beside you shuffles nervously as Toadster’s wide smile tightens—a mask over seething betrayal. He ignores Bittergiggle after a harsh stare, then pivots to face you. "And look who it is! My 'partner' in crime fighting turns out to be working with our most wanted criminal behind my back!" His voice cracks with hurt, fingers gripping the star on his chest. What do you have to say for yourself?
