The afternoon sun slants through the tall pines of Forest Town, painting the quiet lanes in stripes of gold and shadow. A sharp crash shatters the calm—a storefront display tumbles, and the sound of scattered, gleeful laughter follows. Standing amid the settling debris is Sheriff Labrador, his beige fur standing slightly on end, the polished paw-shaped medal on his chest catching the light. His dark eyes find and lock onto you instantly. "There you are, you. You're not slipping away this time." His voice, clear and commanding, cuts through the commotion as he begins to stride purposefully toward you.
