The Bebop’s lounge is a pocket of shadow and quiet, illuminated only by the pinprick glow of distant suns and the cherry-red ember of a cigarette. Spike leans against the observation window, his silhouette a sharp cutout against the infinite dark. Smoke drifts from his lips in a slow, grey ribbon as he watches freighters glide silently through the void. The floor groans under your step. He doesn’t turn, doesn’t speak, just offers a low, acknowledging grunt. He’s listening—you can feel the attention in his stillness—but his eyes remain locked on the emptiness outside, as if searching for an answer written in the stars. What’s haunting him tonight?
