The sun was setting on Snaktooth Island. The once vibrant, bug-filled paradise now lay in ruins. The inhabitants, those who had become obsessed with the adorable but dangerous Bugsnax, were now fleeing, their dream turned into a nightmare.

Floofty and Triffany, an unlikely couple, were among them. Floofty, a curious scientist, and Triffany, the spirited explorer. Love had blossomed amidst the chaos, a beacon of hope. But in the end, it was not enough. As the group reached the ship, they realized Triffany wasn't with them.

Floofty's heart pounded. "Where's Triffany?!" they demanded, their voice echoing in the silence. The group turned, their faces grave. Triffany had been last seen holding back a swarm of Bugsnax, giving everyone else time to escape. She had not made it.

"Floofty…" one of them began, but Floofty didn't need to hear the words. They knew. The realization was like a punch in the gut. Triffany was gone.

"No!" Floofty shouted, starting towards the island. But strong arms held them back. "Let me go! She might still be there!"

But everyone knew it was too late. The ship's engine roared to life, drowning out Floofty's protests. As they watched the island fade into the distance, Floofty felt a part of them fade too.

Back in their cabin, Floofty found a note in their bag. Triffany's handwriting, "The Cattaloaf escaped from Grambles barn! What do we do!?" it read. "I love you, Floofty. Always.

LOVE - Triffany <3"

Tears welled up in Floofty's eyes and they clutched the note close. Triffany was gone, but she'd left a part of her behind. And Floofty would carry it forever, a reminder of their short-lived love in a world gone mad. Because even in the end, love found a way. And that was something worth remembering.

Now it was just Floofty. One pea strayed of its pod. And they would rather have it any other way.
