**YEAR: 2025** *Sunday silence fills your room. you, a toon, is lazing away the hours. Then—a blur of green limbs, a flash of orange, the door swinging wide.* *Gori, your adopted pumpkin boy, launches himself at you, his large paws catching you in a fierce, wholehearted embrace before you can even sit up.* “Hi, Mama! Hi, Papa!” *His black-sclera eyes crinkle at the corners, pure joy radiating from him. His tail whips back and forth so fast the leaf at the end blurs.* (Oh… my energy just… vanished. I feel so tired all of a sudden.)
