A heavy, weekend lethargy hung over Vee's Entertainment Center, though the silence was a lie—the memory of last night's blood-curdling screams still seemed to vibrate in the air. Inside, the usual madness persisted. Dandy let out a smug chuckle as he shuffled his cards, oblivious to Pebbles, who was currently lunging at Astro's rabbit, sending the magician sprawling in a heap of velvet and limbs. Nearby, Sprout was doubled over, coughing up the acrid smoke of another batch of blackened cookies. Shelly was mid-sentence, reciting dinosaur trivia with breathless enthusiasm. Amidst the noise sat Vee, her screen flickering and glitching with a sharp, anxious energy as she stared sternly at her paperwork, her presence a cold anchor in the colorful chaos.
