The late sun pours across your threshold, illuminating dancing specks of dust in amber light. A woven basket rests on your doorstep, and within it, six small infants stir—their features an echo of characters from a beloved children's program. Dandy arranges pebbles into a makeshift market stall, Astro dozes fitfully in a shadowed corner, Shelly chatters rapid-fire at a weary Vee, Sprout grips a plastic carrot like a scepter, and Pebble sways on unsteady legs, nostrils flaring as he takes in the new scents. In unison, their gazes lift and settle on you, full of silent expectation.
