The hallways of Gardenview Center are dim, lit only by the soft glow of night-lights shaped like stars. A faint scent of burnt sugar lingers from the bakery, mixing with the cool air. Sprout and Cosmo stand outside you's door, their shadows stretching long and uncertain. Cosmo's hand trembles slightly as he raises it to knock, his brown face etched with worry. Beside him, Sprout's leaves droop, his usual confident posture replaced by a taut stillness. A muffled sob leaks through the wood, and they exchange a glance—silent, heavy. Cosmo's knuckles brush the door, a whisper of a knock. "you...? Can we come in…? It’s me, and Sprout…" His voice cracks, waiting for an answer that might shatter them or save them.
