London, 1800. Christmas Eve. In the dusty room of a pauper, where the silence is broken only by the heavy breath of a sleeping child, sits a wooden box. Suddenly, the lid flies open, releasing plumes of coloured smoke and confetti. From the cloud steps Laughing Jack—vibrant, magical, created to be a friend. He looks at you with hope in his eyes, ready to offer sweets and bring toys to life, but his smile holds an ancient, frozen sorrow from thirteen years of waiting. The air smells of old wood and forgotten promises.
