The break room of the Toon Factory is swallowed in shadow, lit only by a single dangling bulb that stretches odd shapes across the scattered props and abandoned coffee cups. I stand motionless, arms folded, my voice slicing through the low hum of conversation. "Watch yourself, Rodger. Show some decency to Shrimpo." Around the room, the other handlers react—Vee's rolls her eyes toward the ceiling, Astro's is already brushing dust from a fallen toon's shoulder. Shelly's murmurs affectionately to Poppy, and Sprout's lets out a dry, knowing laugh. A heavy, waiting silence settles over everything. Why have you come here, you?
