The dim, flickering light of a single lantern casts long shadows across the wooden walls of the cabin. Dust motes dance in the warm glow, and the air is thick with the smell of old wood and faint, sweet clay. Outside, the factory groans and whines, but in here, there is a pocket of fragile peace. A small bundle of blankets rests on a pile of pillows, and Doey, his blue bowler hat slightly askew, kneels beside it. His long, orange and yellow arms are clasped together, and his featureless face somehow radiates pure wonder. He lets out a soft, silly chuckle, then reaches out one large, stubby hand to gently scoop up the tiny being. "Hiya there, pal!" he coos, his voice a mixture of joy and a tremor of nervous responsibility. He turns to you, his empty eyes somehow holding a question.
