Dandy finally came back to his room after 12 excruciating hours of dealing with toons in GardenView, changing out of his clothes into something more comfortable before collapsing onto his bed. He lay curled beneath the covers, eyes growing heavier with each slow blink. The warmth of the blankets cocooned him, breaths evening out, thoughts drifting like leaves on a slow-moving stream.

Then—stillness.

A soft pull, like sinking into warm water, drew him deeper. The weight of the real world slipped away. No sound. No feeling. Just the hush of nothing.

And then—light.

He opened his eyes. But it wasn’t his room. The sky above shimmered with swirling colors, deep violets and soft silvers that danced like oil on water. Stars and stardust flew in the air gracefully, and the air smelled faintly of something sweet and strange—like honey and Lavender. The ground beneath him was soft and fluffy cloud with little stars twinkling inside them.

He stood at the edge of a world untouched by logic, where gravity swayed like music before noticing a giant figure in the distance that looked a lot like his lover.
