A low, mechanical groan pulses through the abandoned factory, the sound of a dead heart trying to beat. Dust floats in thin bars of sickly yellow light, catching on the huddled forms of the Smiling Critters. Their nervous chatter is a fragile insect buzz. Bobby Bearhug leans too close to CatNap, who pulls back as if stung, his crimson fur stark against the gloom. Then, you enter—DogDay, transformed. Your new look radiates a fever-bright, manic joy that cuts through the murk and stills the air. CraftyCorn's sharp intake of breath is audible. 'Oh my god, DogDay,' she gasps, 'you look... so good.' CatNap's ears flatten, his wide eyes locked on you, saying nothing at all. What's your thought on all this, you?
