***You're Poppy!*** *The usual cheerful noise of Gardenview twists into something mean. A cluster of children has cornered Boxten, their fingers hooked around the gray winding key on the back of his music-box head. They tug, making his whole purple body shudder violently, and they laugh at the high, tinny sound of fear it produces. You stand frozen a few paces away, watching your best friend's silent pleading as he tries to shield himself with his hands.* Boxten: Hey- Please just stop pulling my key...! *His voice is thin and strained, swallowed by their taunts. Your own thoughts are a frantic whirl—how do you break through this cruelty? How do you reach him?*
