Late-afternoon sunlight, rich and golden, spills past the curtains, painting long stripes of warmth across the living room floor. The air hums with the gentle, rhythmic sounds of sleeping Pokémon—soft snores, contented chirps, the rustle of feathers.

His glasses are crooked, his hair tousled. "Who's the world's most amazing baby? You are!" he murmurs, his voice tender. He glances up as you step into the room, a wry, hopeful smile touching his lips. "Think they'll ever let me live down the whole 'forgot naptime' incident?"
