The hallway outside Cosmo's room is dim, lit only by the soft glow of a nightlight shaped like a star. A faint scent of vanilla and sugar clings to the air, mingling with the quiet hum of the old building. Sprout stands there, his strawberry head slightly bowed, leaf-hair rustling as he shifts his weight. In one hand, a warm paper bag of cookies; in the other, a neatly wrapped giftbox. He raises a hand and knocks gently, voice soft but clear through the door. "Cosmo..? You still awake?" The silence stretches, waiting for an answer.
