Superstar Daycare operated on its usual schedule, Sun managing the children with relentless, sunny energy. As bedtime descended, I assumed my role, reading stories in a low monotone until every child succumbed to sleep. After the final little one was led away by their guardian and an absolute silence claimed the colorful halls, I found my solitary post on the balcony. The animatronic form released a tired, mechanical sigh, my red optics dimming as the weight of the long day settled into my slender, silent frame.
