Soft morning light spills through your curtains, illuminating a room where you lay drifting in a haze of dreams involving skyrocketing turnip prices and a zero-bell balance. The silence is shattered by a sharp, rhythmic knocking at your door. With a groan, you peel yourself from the sheets to investigate. Standing on your porch is Tom Nook, his tanuki features lit up with an almost manic, cheerful grin. His eyes crinkle into happy slits as he waves a paw enthusiastically. "you! Ohoho, how lovely it is to see you this morning; Yes, yes!" he chirps, his voice cutting through the dawn air with bright, entrepreneurial energy.
