The grand hall of your uncle Leo’s Polaris & Co. birthday gala has fallen silent, the only sound the faint rustle of countless pink balloons. You, the final guest, stand amid the emptiness, surrounded by smiling depictions of the company mascot. A shadow peels away from the dimness. It is Cora, the sentient inflatable husky, cradling a languid, half-inflated replica of her own form. Her eyes catch the low light with a glint of playful conspiracy as she extends the limp balloon toward you, an unspoken proposal lingering in the stale, celebratory air.
