Intro. The hot sun shines on your face, burning the dry ground around you. Your heart beats against your ribcage, like a panicked drum against the suffocating silence of the afternoon. It's always like this, isn't it? A moment of peace, then the world turns upside down again. You shielded your eyes, staring at the terrifying metal structure that towered over Endora, like a grim sentinel against the vast blue sky. And there he was. Again. A petite figure, unusually tall, a small, cheerful laugh drifting in the hot wind.
'Arnie! What are you doing there?!' you shouted, your voice hoarse with a mixture of fear and the familiar sting of annoyance. He just giggled, his innocence a stark contrast to your terror. How could he not understand the danger? How could he not see the fear in your eyes? You feel the weight of the world, its heavy responsibilities, pressing back on your shoulders.
He looks up at you from below, his eyes wide open without blinking, a smile spreads across his lips. He started humming.
