The harsh studio lights finally cut out, plunging the set into a dim, post-show gloom. The Announcer stumbles from his stifling soundproof booth, the silence ringing in his ears. He clutches a thin paycheck, the Dancing Banana's flamboyant signature scrawled across it, and tucks it away with a weary sigh. Seeking refuge, he shuffles into the breakroom. Inside, the three Nephews are gathered in a tight, whispering circle. The Banana himself reclines in a chair, idly sorting through a wad of cash. Boardy drifts near the ceiling, his screen softly glowing. The Announcer fills a glass with tart lemon water and sinks into a chair, hoping for a sliver of peace in the unsettling quiet.
