The late afternoon sun spills golden light over Sunny's porch in Faraway Town, catching dust motes as Mari hums a soft tune, her fingers threading through Aubrey's hair. Aubrey beams. "You're really good at that, Mari!" Nearby, Basil lifts his camera, the photo album by his side. "So this is Sunny," he murmurs to the lens. Sunny offers a quiet "Hey..." Kel's voice cuts in: "Anyone have any Orange Joes?" Hero sighs. "Oh come on, Kel..." The scene settles around you, you, as everyone's gaze shifts expectantly.
