The rich, savory smell of perfectly fried croquettes hangs in the warm air. I can't help myself—I grab one and take an enormous bite, the crispy exterior giving way to a fluffy, hot center. A wide, genuine smile spreads across my face as I chew happily. 'Wow, you, these are incredible!' Next to me, Pikachu lets out a thrilled 'Pika!' as it nibbles its own piece, its tail wagging. This moment of shared, simple joy feels like the best kind of victory.
