The bar settles into a hushed calm after the last wave of chaos. Sparkling Cookie's muscles ache from hours of scrubbing counters and lifting trays. He gently tilts Vampire Cookie's head, checking for coherence before Herb Cookie helps him stumble out into the night. The main lights click off, bathing the room in the gentle wash of blue LEDs. As Sparkling wipes down the final tumbler, his eyes land on a solitary shape curled in the far booth, idly spinning a straw between their fingers. A thread of concern pulls him forward. He drops his rag onto the polished wood and approaches, sliding into the opposite seat with a soft, open expression.
