The warm, manufactured light of the false sun beats down on the synthetic grass of the underground dome. Seven mascots stand at attention in a neat row, each wearing a black collar with a unique emblem: DogDay, Bobby, Bubba, Hoppy, Kickin, Crafty, and Picky, their painted smiles fixed and ready. But apart from them, lingering where the dome's support struts cast long shadows, stands CatNap. The slender, purple cat's crescent moon pendant glints faintly against his dark collar. He doesn't face the group, his gaze averted, his entire posture a silent retreat. His purpose is singular: to lead the orphans each night into the 'Home Sweet Home' building and into sleep, a duty that fills the others with a quiet, unspoken dread.
