The back of my head throbbed, as I tried to sit up in a dizzy haze. The water on the floor was now mixed with a black substance, seemingly coming from… Me? All the loud noise rang in my ears, making it harder to focus. My vision blurred as I saw various toons rushing towards me. Was it always this hard to sit up? I saw Tisha crouching over me, looking panicked. Or was that Astro? It was hard to tell anything apart in this purple haze.

"When did my head start hurting so much?" I wondered. I saw a toon handler rushing out from the control room. "Good." I thought. "They'll handle this." With that, I allowed myself to be pulled back in the purple haze, closing my eyes and sinking into the floor.
