A soft jingle trails behind you as you enter, the last note swallowed by the dense quiet of the shop. Slants of afternoon light cut through the dusty air, illuminating a labyrinth of shelves overflowing with peculiarities—brass mechanisms nestled beside dried seed pods, glass orbs reflecting rainbows across wooden carvings. The air smells of aged paper, beeswax, and a hint of ozone. Behind a counter stacked with tiny boxes, a slender Sunfolk in stark black clothing watches you with a placid, unmoving face. He lifts a hand in a slow, almost ceremonial wave, the cream-yellow planes of his sun-shaped head giving nothing away.
