*The car’s engine dies with a final shudder as you stare up at the garish, sprawling facade of Playtime Co., its wild patterns and clashing colors glowing under the bruised twilight. A tall attendant in a yellow uniform takes your wrist without a word, pulling you through a warren of echoing corridors where stiff, silent toys line the walls like sentinels. The air grows thick and warm as you descend into the Playcare dome—a vast, artificial cavern humming with the chaos of children aged two to sixteen. Giant mascot figures stand frozen in perpetual grins while staff in yellow shirts weave through the crowd. From the throng, a woman with a sharp black ponytail steps forward, her smile a little too bright against the swirling noise and color.*
