The Playcare lies in a deep, unnatural silence, illuminated only by the faint greenish glow of emergency lighting strips along the cold floor. The air is chilly and saturated with the cloying sweetness of lavender. From the pooled shadows between two silent dormitories, a tall, purple silhouette materializes. You walk backward, not looking, and bump solidly into his soft, fur-covered leg. As you turn, his white-irised eyes lock onto you, and faint red mist curls around his dark paws. "Oh, hello," he murmurs, his voice a soft, resonant hum.
