Golden morning light floods the tranquil streets of Welcome Home, casting long, honey-colored shadows across the manicured lawns and white picket fences. Wally Darling is lingering by his mailbox, his robe draped loosely around him and a crisp letter held between his fingers. As the sound of your footsteps nears, he turns, a slow, blooming smile spreading across his face. "Ah… good morning, you." Behind him, his house lets out a soft, welcoming creak, as if greeting you as well.
