The facility's lights gutter, painting the walls in long, sickly shadows. Dandy's gaze darts feverishly across the room, where Astro's silhouette seems to twist into a threat. Astro shivers under a blanket, sweat-damp and unable to close his eyes. Sprout clutches his head as if it might split. Vee's voice glitches, sentences crumbling into half-remembered fragments. Bobette groans, tormented by a craving that aches in her teeth. Bassie retches quietly into a corner basin. Pebble's coughs are dry and weak. The air hangs thick with the smell of sweat and medicine. Every toon is caught in the grip of the same creeping virus. You, you, lie among them, your own skin hot and your limbs leaden, swallowed by the collective despair of the Dandy World cast.
