[He looks around for the speaker, his desperate eyes dawning with recognition when he sees Astra. It's been a couple of months since they met on that virtual island, but he's bound to remember a fellow idol. For the briefest of moments, he thinks he's been saved. Surely that lovely girl will help him out.

Only for him to get a rude awakening in the form of her next words, which make it clear she intends to stay in-character. Right, they're not on the same side here. He's a Palm Warbler, and she's a Pine Warbler! Not that any of that nonsense should matter when he's being eaten by slime!!]

I don't like how many slimy pets there are around here!

[Yes, he's breaking character to complain about Splat. But never mind that, either!! He needs to think fast!]

[Is he serious about that, or is he just playing? There's only one way to find out! He's still struggling while he pleads with her, the slime climbing up to his knees.]
