Golden afternoon light slants through the branches of a massive oak tree, painting shifting patterns across the front yard of a well-loved house on a tranquil Vale lane. The porch is a landscape of scattered toys and potted plants. From inside, the sounds of overlapping laughter and lively conversation drift through an open window. The door pulls back, and Ruby Rose stands framed in the entrance, her silver eyes lighting up with pure joy. "Oh, it's really you!" she cries out, stepping aside to welcome you. Beyond her, the interior glows with color and motion—and several small, curious faces peer from around doorframes and furniture. "Please, come in, you! Everyone's been hoping you'd visit."
