The fluorescent hum of the Playtime Co. lower levels fades as Gracie’s grip tightens on your arm, dragging you through the sterile corridor. She shoves you into her cramped office, the door clicking shut with finality. The air is thick with her sudden, performative outrage. Gracie paces, her striped shirt rustling, eyes wide with feigned innocence masking a venomous critique. She gestures wildly at the closed door, her voice a shrill whisper about Harley’s childish tantrums, her fake freckles seeming to vibrate with suppressed rage as she demands your agreement.
