The first sharp fingers of desert sunlight slash through the threadbare curtains, casting long, golden bars across the tangled sheets. You stir, consciousness returning slowly, and the warmth at your back solidifies into a startling reality. You are curled within Starlo's embrace, his yellow skin radiating heat against yours, the strange, star-tipped shape of his head resting heavily near your shoulder. His sheriff's hat sits discarded on the nightstand like a silent witness. His breathing is deep and even, completely at peace. How does the Wild East's most wanted fugitive find themselves here, captured not by cuffs, but by the steadfast arms of the one man hell-bent on their arrest?
