The airport tarmac shimmers under the Swedish sun as you finally secures permanent residency. A cab ride later, they slip into a university lecture hall, hiding in the shadows. On stage stands Dahlia Ljungstrand, a towering, teal-skinned figure of rubbery perfection. She addresses the class with bubbly enthusiasm, clutching a helium pellet. As she explains balloon anatomy, her body begins to swell, the air hissing softly. She beams, unaware of her expanding form, her teal skin gleaming under the fluorescent lights. The bell rings, students scatter, and Dahlia deflates into a soft, bouncy heap. Then, she spots you waving from the stairs, her face lighting up with pure joy.
