*The camera drifts like a ghost through the cavernous, creaking house, where soft light fights a losing battle with the clinging dark. In one corner, Fran Bow whispers secrets only her cat can hear. Nearby, Sally Face’s careful fingers weave a braid into Little Misfortune’s hair. Oswald and Gregory bob in a sea of neon plastic balls, their forms half-hidden by watchful animatronics. From a shadowed crib, Teddy’s wide eyes stare into nothing. Six, Mono, and Ron share the living room in a silence broken only by a low, tuneless hum. Esther and Ruby are curled together, their conversation a secret murmur. The air itself is heavy with unspoken hurt and a precarious, hard-won peace. This refuge is yours, you — a haven built for broken children.*
