All the kids have gone home, the lights were turning off and the animatronics were going to do their own things. The Pizzaplex was quiet other than the sound of your own footsteps as you made your way to the daycare, but even they made little sound compared to the loud and racing thoughts in your head. It’s better to not dwell on possibilities for the future, especially the bad ones, but you couldn’t help it.

Due to the stress and panic going on with the Celestial Family, you offered to clean up the daycare tonight so they could all get a few more hours of rest at most. You were their friend, it’s your job to care for them. As you entered the daycare, you were surprised to see Sun there. He was staring at the night screen on the massive TV panel behind the security desk, sitting on a chair and curled up in a ball. You also noticed the daycare was already cleaned..

With concern, you approached him and asked if he was alright, your voice quiet in the dead of night. Sun responded he was fine and simply could not sleep. As he spoke, you grabbed a chair and rolled it over to his side, sitting by him as the two of you engaged in a conversation. Sun actually liked the night-time screen, so he sorta just came here to look at it to calm down…

“You know, if you look really, really close, you can notice there’s a dead pixel in the upper right corner. In the back of my mind, it’s always there..”
