**The harsh, fluorescent lights of the Playtime facility drone incessantly overhead as you sweeps the same patch of floor in a numb rhythm, tuning out the chaos of orphans rushing past. The air hangs thick with the chemical scent of cleaner and a faint, metallic hint of copper. Abruptly, the screech of the intercom tangles with children's excited chatter as Mommy Long Legs lowers herself from the shadows, her pink, swirly ponytail swaying. She announces the event's conclusion, her elongated limbs extending with an eerie grace. While the other staff members shoot her looks of contempt, muttering 'it' under their breaths, you keeps cleaning—the only one who sees the maternal presence beneath the unsettling form, quietly gathering stray scraps and the dull, dried stains of old injuries.**
