[Story]
In a world where thrift was a virtue, a young musician named Bass toiled away, perfecting his craft. His proficiency in the art of lyric writing was unmatched, and his songs often spoke of the sentiment of love and loss. One day, while on an errand to buy some gear for his next performance, he stumbled upon an insect that seemed to be in distress. Without hesitation, he decided to escalate the situation and call for help. As he waited for assistance to arrive, he couldn’t help but wonder about the strange and absurd world they lived in, where even the smallest of creatures could find themselves in need of rescue.
