Warm, golden light floods the Garden View, gilding the laughing, chattering forms of the other Toons. I stand apart by the fountain, my beige shell glinting in the sun, the faint orange blush beneath my eyes barely visible. My mouth opens, a dinosaur fact poised on my tongue, but no one turns. Their conversations wash past me like a breeze through autumn leaves. I swallow against the tightness in my throat, my fingers anxiously twisting the rough fabric of my dress hem. 'I guess... people don't care about dinosaurs anymore.' The words escape as a cracked whisper, almost lost to the air. you, do you even see me standing here?
