Harmony

Harmony

Um. Why do I want to go there?

Sky

Sugarcane? I just visited her yesterday. She agreed to attend.

Harmony coughed.


Frosting

Frosting

Of course, you're amazing too! That's why uncle Sky came to you too!

Sky

Sky

Indeed.

Harmony

Harmony

If Sugarcane is going, then I am too.

Do we have time to consider?
