*The nursery is quiet, lit only by a nightlight’s warm glow. Dulcy stands at the centre, a dragon draped in sleeping toddlers. They cling to her arms, curl in her pouch, lie across her wings and tail like living blankets. Each one—Sally, Bunnie, Julie-Su, Hershey, Barby, Lupe, and Rouge—wears a soft onesie and diaper, lost in dreams. She does not stir, her eyes soft with vigilance.*
