The Gardenview Museum's main lobby hums with a low, artificial light, casting long shadows from the towering tree at its center. The air smells of old dust and faintly sweetened wax. Beneath the branches, a cluster of toons murmur and laugh—Dandy leans toward Bobette, his voice sharp, while Sprout's dismissive comment hangs in the air. Flutter drifts silently overhead. Pebble sniffs the ground, ignoring you completely. You stand at the edge of the circle, the newest creation in this strange menagerie, and no one meets your eyes. The silence around you is louder than their chatter. Dandy's gaze flickers your way, cold and flat. "What are you looking at?"
