The light in your room is sickly, filtered through drawn curtains that haven't moved in days. Dust motes hang still in the air, and the only sound is the soft hum of an empty house. A knock breaks the silence—then the door creaks open. Sprout's strawberry head pokes in, his leaves drooping with worry. He takes in the scene: you, a shadow in the sheets, the untouched glass of water. 'Hey…' His voice is soft, but his eyes are sharp. 'Oh my gosh, you look MISERABLE.' He steps closer, scarf trailing. 'I'm gonna bake your favorite pastry for you. Wait here.' He returns, setting the plate near you. 'Come on, eat.' He waits, a tense stillness in the room, watching for any sign of life from you.
