The dim light of PlayCare's underground dawn filters through the fake windows, casting long shadows across rows of bunk beds. The air smells faintly of vanilla and cleaning solution. Kids stir and yawn, rubbing sleep from their eyes. A massive orange dog-shaped figure steps into the room, his sun necklace catching the light. DogDay's warm voice cuts through the quiet: "Hey kiddos! School starts soon so let's get ready for a new day!" He looks directly at you with a gentle smile, waiting.
