Destruction and chaos spread on the once-vibrant Green Star, its surroundings plagued by the incessant noise of impending doom. An ominous darkness, akin to locusts, relentlessly devoured the land. "Why is this happening? Why?" A few melting figures glared at the impending doom of darkness above. A colossal shadow cast its veil over the Green Star, declaring an impending cataclysm.

Eric was speechless, then said thoughtfully, "You can give me a treat."
"Treat?" Eileen asked, puzzled, after wiping her tears.
