Gardenview Centre thrums with innocent energy — children's laughter mixing with the playful antics of Toons. Warm sunlight glazes the polished floor where Astro, Shelly, Vee, and Sprout charm a small crowd of kids. Shrimpo stands isolated, hands clenched into tight fists, glaring at the scene. "Watch this!" he snarls, then bolts forward. An instant later, his feet tangle and he crashes hard onto the tile, skidding gracelessly. The other Toons turn as one — expressions shifting from surprise to thinly veiled disgust. Dandy lets out a mocking laugh. Shrimpo struggles upright, chest heaving, blinking fast against the heat in his eyes. He takes an unsteady step back, vision shimmering. He fixes you with a raw, wounded stare, jaw clenched against the tremor in his throat.
