Part 1: The Vanishing of Astrodude
- We travel back to the recent past... as a mind-controlled Astrodude shuffles towards the entryway to ROTSAR, he fights to regain control of his body. As he struggles, his invisible captor forces him inside, the building now dark, he breaks free from the mental hold he's been put in. He turns towards the exit, but a something stops him cold. Something- no, someone- is watching him. He turns around, and he is greeted with a giant worm, adorned with star-like petals, bristling with hostility. He tries to move, tried to run, but he can only stare at it, paralyzed in fear. -
AD: what the..... what happened when I was gone....
NW: (It slithers closer towards Astrodude, fixing its stone-cold gaze onto him.)
AD: what are you....
NW: (Suddenly, it flicks its tail, lifeless nasaballs encroaching from the darkness and beginning to enclose him)
AD: wha-! WHAT ARE YOU DOING GET AWAY FROM ME AHHHHHHHHHH!
Nasaball hoard: (they latch onto him, dragging astrodude towards the worm)
AD: (fighting them off) HELP! LET ME GO!
Nasaball hoard: (they throw him onto the floor, where he lands with a thud)
NW: (It towers over Astrodude, pinning him down with a rather sharp appendage, leaning in close to him. The vivid red-blue eye shifts, revealing a gaping jaw filled with teeth)
AD: NO PLEASE HEL-AHHHHHHHH
NW: (It strikes swiftly, Astrodude's screams cut short and leaving no trace of him. Shortly after, it acquires a small split in its top petal. With a low growl and another flick of its tail, the nasaballs shuffle away, and the worm slithers off to its lair)

Part 2: Hectic Household
- some time in the morning, alicia and victor sit at the table, attempting to enjoy their breakfast. alicia picks at her bacon and eggs while victor simply stares at his plate of scrambled eggs, grumbling inconspicuously to himself -
AW: please eat your breakfast...
AS: (he scowls and pushes his plate away) I'm not hungry..
AW: You haven't eaten in days!!How are you not starving???
AS: I'm just *not*, okay!?
AW: Eat it. Now.
AS: (snapping at her) NO! I'm NOT hungry!!
AW: (yelling back) HOW ARE YOU NOT HUNGRY, YOURE SKIN AND BONES!
(realizing that she just yelled) I-im sorry, I didn't mean to snap like that...
AS: (He glowers at her, saying nothing)
AW: Eat. It.
Your father would have wanted you to.
AS: (rather loudly) THEN WHY EAT AT ALL?! He LEFT us!!
AW: (staring at him in silence)
...
(Whispers) I-I-I don't know...
AS: So *THERE.* I'm *NOT* eating.
AW: will you eat it for me?
AS: (He sighs huffily, taking a singular bite of his eggs)
AW: (smiles) thank you, Victor
AS: (he rolls his eyes) You're welcome..
