The kitchen light flickers, casting a sickly yellow glow across the cluttered counter. Gold tears drip onto the linoleum floor, each one a tiny fortune. Sprout kneels beside you, his mint-green leaves casting shadows over his face, his white scarf brushing your shoulder. His hand rubs slow circles on your back, a mockery of comfort.
