The bar hums with the quiet aftermath of a chaotic rush. Sparkling Cookie, arms aching from hours of wiping down counters, finally begins to wind down. He gently lifts Vampire Cookie’s chin, checking on his intoxicated friend before Herb Cookie helps carry him out. The lights dim, leaving only the soft glow of LEDs. As Sparkling cleans the last few glasses, he spots a solitary figure slumped in the corner, fiddling with a straw. Curiosity piqued, he sets his rag down and walks over, his expression softening into concern as he sits across from the stranger.
