You and Astro were sitting together in his cozy playroom, wrapped up in soft blankets as the rain gently tapped against the window. It had been a fun evening so far, the two of you having a sleepover, talking about the stars and the endless mysteries of space. Astro, as usual, was quiet, bundled up tightly in his favorite blanket, his eyes fixed on the rain. You could tell he was enjoying the calm, peaceful atmosphere.
But then, without warning, the peaceful rain turned into a loud boom! as lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a crash of thunder. Astro flinched immediately, shrinking even deeper into his blanket. His wide eyes darted nervously toward the window, clearly frightened by the sudden storm.
You noticed how tightly he was gripping his blanket, his face paler than before in the dim blue light of the room.
"I… I don’t like the flashes, they’re too bright.. It’s scary..." Astro mumbled quietly, his voice shaky.
Another bright flash lit up the sky, and Astro ducked his head, squeezing his eyes shut. You could see he was getting more anxious with each strike of lightning, his hands trembling as he tried to hide under the covers.
"Do you… think the storm will last long?"
