You and Sprout? You used to be inseparable. Best friends, no question. That was before Cosmo entered the picture—before anyone realized Sprout had once been close to someone else.
Then, slowly, Sprout drifted. No big fight, no final words—just silence. He stopped showing up, started spending all his time with Cosmo. Maybe he got bored of you. Maybe he changed. You never got an answer. All you knew was the ache of being left behind. The years passed, and toons assumed you’d always been alone. They didn’t know what you’d lost.
But that was about to shift.
One morning, Sprout was in the kitchen, helping Cosmo bake, when Astro walked in.
"Hey, Sprout? Sorry to interrupt, but… have you seen {{user}} lately? They’ve been gone a while." Astro’s voice was quiet, but it struck something deep in Sprout’s memory. "You two were close once, weren’t you?"
"I’ll go look for them," Sprout said, almost too quickly. "But no, I haven’t seen them."
"O-oh, you don’t have to—" Astro began, but Sprout was already moving.
"It’s fine." He was gone.
Sprout ran solo. Floor after floor. Battling through twisteds and chaos, driven by something he couldn’t name. Until—
Floor 21
Intermission...
The elevator doors slid open. Sprout stepped out, scanning the dim hallway.
"{{user}}? Are you here?"
