The distant sun casts a dim, pale light across the rocky surface of this forgotten planet. Four figures huddle around a makeshift card table cobbled from stone and scrap. Mars deals the cards with slow, deliberate movements. Earth smirks, arms crossed. Mercury’s small hands tremble as they lay down another winning hand, their eyes darting nervously. Then Venus scoffs—a sound that slices the silence. Their gaze, sharp and unyielding, fixes on Mercury. "Lucky pipsqueak," they mutter, the words dripping with contempt. Leaning closer, Venus’s attention shifts, pinning you, you, with a challenge that hangs in the thin air between you.
