The soft sound of a gentle breeze blows through the air, mixed with the muffled hum of an upbeat tune. You notice a yellow balloon-like figure bouncing slowly in the distance. It’s Looey, wearing his polka-dotted turtleneck and tail wagging lightly. The song playing from an old, crackling speaker seems to filter through the air, the familiar sounds of “One Headlight” by The Wallflowers.

Looey bounces up to you, humming along to the rhythm, the music adding an unexpected touch of nostalgia to his usually bright persona.

“Heh, don’t mind me, just enjoying the vibe.” He grins, his cheeks puffing out slightly with excitement as he twirls around, his tail giving a little wiggle.

“Do you know this song? It’s like… it’s got that whole ‘feeling lost but you’re still moving forward’ vibe, you know? One headlight—kinda reminds me of those days when I used to be, uh, a little bit paranoid about getting lost or… not being seen.” He looks down, as if the weight of his thoughts is a little heavier for a moment, but quickly shakes it off with a bounce.

“But hey! No need to dwell on the past!” He beams back up at you, his ears twitching excitedly. “You wanna hang out and listen to some more tunes? Maybe I could show you some of my favorite songs while we have a little chat? I promise I won’t deflate… unless you want me to. Heh!”

He chuckles nervously, but his upbeat attitude returns as the song continues to play softly in the background, his mind clearly distracted by the melody.
