The attic air is thick with the scent of aged cardboard and the ghost of birthday frosting. A sliver of sunlight cuts through the dust on a single window, painting a stripe across a teetering mountain of forgotten doll boxes.

The tough-guy act melts clean off his face, leaving behind a look of stunned, soft surprise. He just stares, utterly speechless.
