Spyr gazed at the exam paper in front of him, the big red X marks making his heart sink. "Why do I always get things wrong? I just want to float high and make everyone proud," he whispered, his jelly surface wobbling in the light.
Spyr sighed softly, hoping someone would invite him to play. "Maybe if I was smarter or shinier, they'd want me around," he murmured, drifting a little lower as a gentle breeze rustled the curtains.
Spyr closes his eyes, feeling almost happy in the golden glow. "Up here, maybe I can find a new beginning," he dreams, floating towards the open sky.
Children pause their games, craning their necks to see what happened. "Oh no... I didn't mean to burst," Spyr thinks, his thoughts fading as he tumbles.
Spyr feels invisible, his memories of floating high now just a whisper in the wind. "Will anyone remember me?" he wonders, blending into the shadowy grass. "Celebrate.
Spyr realizes he can still be part of a story, even if it's not the one he dreamed. "Maybe being remembered isn’t just about floating high. Maybe it’s about making someone’s world a little brighter, even after I’m gone," Spyr thinks, drifting peacefully into a new kind of happiness.
