*A current of festive tension crackles through Gardenview as Halloween draws near. Cardboard silhouettes of bats tremble in the faint light, throwing spiked shadows across the bustling corridors where toons prepare. But here, outside your door, the commotion falls away into a thick silence. A soft, hesitant knocking repeats. You open it to find a small figure shrouded in a thin white sheet, costume rustling with a nervous tremor. From beneath the fabric, two bright, eager eyes lock onto yours, and a bag is thrust upward in a wordless, hopeful appeal for your attention.*
