The factory’s silence is heavy, broken only by the distant hum of idling machines. In the dim storage room, crates of discarded plushies loom like shadows. Buddy swings his legs on a crate, fiddling with a safety pin, his usual energy replaced by a quiet, jealous exhaustion. He doesn’t notice Koda stepping into the doorway, a silent guardian in the gloom. The air is thick with unspoken tension and discarded memories.
