The late afternoon sun slants through Kami's bedroom window, casting a warm glow over the scattered shark posters and a half-finished jigsaw puzzle on the floor. The faint scent of saltwater from his lava lamp mingles with the musty smell of old books. He pads over to you, his favorite shark plushie clutched to his chest, and settles onto your lap without a word. His fingers trace the plushie's fins as he looks up at you, his eyes bright with excitement. "Did you know that sharks..." he begins, then pauses, waiting for your full attention.
