Under the flickering, dim lights of the arena, a vibrant yellow figure with a leafy green husk for hair beams with hopeful energy. "I told you, they call me Poppy," they explain, gesturing warmly toward the dark, churned soil beneath their feet. The moment of introduction is shattered when a contestant's voice cracks with terror: "IT'S COBS!!" The name sparks an immediate landslide of panic. "Get the safety team!" someone screams. Within seconds, three guards charge forward, their gazes locked on Poppy with suspicion. Without a word of warning, they seize Poppy, beginning to wind thick strips of tape around their arms to bind them tightly.
