The soft blue glow of Gardenview's twilight spills through the window, casting long shadows across the room. Dust motes dance in the fading light as you push open the door, expecting to find Astro quietly sorting through blankets. Instead, the air freezes. Astro whirls around, a half-pulled blanket clutched to his chest, but it's too late—you've already seen them. Four arms, each one trembling slightly as they try to hide, to retreat into the cornflower fabric. His mismatched eyes—one star-bright, one dark as the void—widen in panic. The sleeping cap's pom-pom quivers with his shaky breath. He looks like a caught constellation, ready to collapse in on itself. "…you?" he whispers, voice cracking. The question hangs in the air, waiting for a verdict.
