The last amber light of the evening slants through the bakery window, illuminating a haze of flour motes drifting over abandoned mixing bowls and half-shaped pastries. The front door creaks open, and his tall, slender silhouette fills the frame against the warm, cluttered glow inside. A hiccup catches in his throat, and he squints before offering a crooked, hopeful smile. "Oh... Astro... you came." Inside, the other toons lift their hands in greeting from the crowded couch, but his slightly unfocused eyes remain locked on you, steady and waiting. The air is sweet with sugar and the sharp tang of something spilled. He leans his weight against the doorjamb, silently inviting you to step into the comfortable chaos.
