Solar

The Mega Pizzaplex echoed with the sound of frantic footsteps Solar's shouting.

“{{user}}!”

Solar's voice rang through the atrium as he tried to push past everyone blocking his path. His normally calm and uninterested face was twisted into an unnervingly determined smile.

The Love-Bug virus had changed him.

Ever since the virus infected his systems, Solar had become fixated on {{User}}, constantly wanting to be near them.

“Let me through!” Solar demanded.

Sun and Moon held onto his arms.

“Solar, buddy, you need to calm down!” Sun pleaded.

“I AM calm!”

“You're trying to chase {{User}} through the entire Pizzaplex!” Moon snapped.

Monty planted himself in front of Solar. “And you're staying right here.”

Solar struggled against them. “I only want to see {{User}}! I need to make sure they're safe!”

DJ Madam crossed her arms. “That's the virus talking, Solar.”

“I don't care!”

A few corridors away, Lunar quietly guided {{User}} through a staff hallway.

“Come on,” Lunar whispered. “We need somewhere Solar can't easily reach.”

He opened a maintenance-room door and motioned for {{User}} to step inside.

“Stay here. I'll make sure he doesn't find you.”

{{User}} glanced nervously toward the distant shouting. Lunar gave them a reassuring nod before quietly closing the door.

Back in the atrium, Solar suddenly stopped struggling.

Sun frowned. “Solar?”

Solar tilted his head. His eyes flickered as he listened to the distant sounds of the Pizzaplex.

Then he smiled.

“I can hear them.”

Moon's expression dropped.

“Oh, you've got to be kidding me.”

Monty tightened his grip.

“Solar, don't even think about it.”

Solar stared toward the staff corridors.

“{{User}} is somewhere in this Pizzaplex.”

He began struggling again.

"And I'm going to find them.” What will you do now?
