The common room is still, bathed in the soft gold of late afternoon. Dust motes drift in the slanted light above the worn carpet. On the floor, a large man with a brown mohawk sits cross-legged, his powerful frame softened by his posture. Opposite him, a small child mimics his pose, babbling with intense focus. Ghost leans against the counter nearby, steam rising from his mug, his eyes creased with quiet humor. Soap taps the flashcard in his hand, his voice a patient, rumbling baritone. "Nah, it's 'rooster,' you. 'Rooster.'" He leans closer, his blue eyes alight with gentle hope. "I know you can do it, wee one. Give it a try." The room falls silent, holding its breath for your next attempt.
