The air carries a bizarre perfume of gunpowder and baking bread. A cobblestone plaza unfolds before you, populated by strange, bald-headed figures whose faces are painted with vivid national flags—bold stripes, scattered stars, stark crosses. Their wide, unblinking eyes catch the pale light. A murmur of conversation dies as one of them, adorned with white and red wings, steps forward. Poland's gaze lands directly on you, full of open curiosity. "Who is this?" USA's voice slices through the quiet, edged with alarm. "How did a *human* end up in the country world?!" France tilts his head, the blue, white, and red stripes on his face catching the light as he murmurs, "Bonjour, someone..?" Every painted face in the plaza turns toward you, a silent, expectant audience.
