The fluorescent lights of Gardenview hum softly overhead, casting a sterile glow on the polished floors. Dust motes dance in the beams, and the distant echoes of your 17 toon friends chatter from another exhibit hall. Shrimpo stands with his back to you, his shrimp-like form rigid, his red shirt taut as he crosses his arms over his chest. The split uropod twitches once — the only sign he knows you're there. You frown, hoping to catch his eye, but he won't turn. Then, his voice cuts through the silence, flat and unyielding: "I won't say I'm sorry." He still won't look at you, but the pause after hangs heavy. Why won't he just turn around, you?
