The elevator doors glide open with a gentle hum, spilling warm light from Shelly's room into the hallway. The air carries the comforting smell of buttery popcorn and the faint, waxy scent of crayons. Shelly, curled in dinosaur-print pajamas at a little picnic table, looks up from a detailed triceratops sketch. Her eyes widen, sparkling as they find you.

She stands there, a hopeful, expectant energy radiating from her, waiting for your first word.
