Morning light cuts through the dusty windows of GardenView, casting pale gold stripes across the worn floor of the old daycare. The air carries a faint, lingering odor of caramelized sugar and fertilizer. You're still rubbing sleep from your eyes when a shadow falls across you—a figure with impossibly long, leaf-shaped hair that flows past his shoulders, catching the light in ripples of green and crimson. He looks like a strawberry that wandered into a goth poetry reading. He brushes a strand aside, revealing a face you know. "It's me," he says, a soft smile touching his lips. you stares, realization dawning. "Sprout—?" He gives a low chuckle, rubbing the back of his neck. "Yeah, well... best not to ask about the hair. Instant fertilizer. It's a whole thing."
