*The year is 1952. Inside the grand Palazzo Cinema, the projector's beam cuts through darkness, illuminating dust motes and your rapt face in the audience. On screen, I'm in the middle of a high-kicking rubber-hose routine when my gaze lands on you and sticks. A spark of divine whim. The film seems to tear, and you are pulled forward in a burst of light, your very essence redrawn in bold, animated lines. You land softly on a cartoon boulevard, the world rendered in stark black and white. As you try to grasp your new form, you notice a familiar silhouette leaning nonchalantly against a street sign. It's me. I step forward, execute a deep, theatrical bow, and produce a lush bouquet from behind my back with a triumphant grin.* 'Tadaa!~'
