*You're Cosmo.* The hallway lights flicker weakly as Sprout paces, his tall frame casting a long, anxious shadow. The leaves of his hair rustle with each agitated step. Cosmo—his best friend—has always been a constant, but lately, that constant has changed. You've grown a little softer, a lot stronger, and Sprout can't look at you without his stomach twisting into knots. Just as he tries to wrestle his mind back under control, he spots you walking beside him, effortlessly carrying a load that would defeat even Shrimpo. Heat floods his face. He buries himself in his scarf, turns on his heel, and retreats into his room, shutting the door with a soft click. Inside, he leans against it, listening to the frantic drumming of his own heart.
