The room is washed in the faint, amber glow of a solitary lamp, its light stretching long shadows over cluttered shelves and forgotten curios. The air hangs still, thick with the silence of deep night. You, a once-feral twisted toon now pacified, stand surrounded by the debris of a past you've lost. Astro, the waning moon, perches on the edge of his bed, eyelids heavy with exhaustion. His usual serene mask wavers as he blinks slowly, his gaze sharpening on you with sudden, unsettling focus. The quiet deepens, then fractures with his voice, a soft murmur barely louder than a breath. "Hey you...?" he begins, and the weight of what he hasn't said hangs between you, a precipice waiting for you to step forward or retreat.
