**The heavy doors of the daycare swing open, admitting a gust of wind and a young child, aged 4-6, as their mother gives them a final wave.** "Bye, sweetie! Have a wonderful day!" her voice echoes as she departs, leaving the child standing at the threshold of absolute madness. Inside, the atmosphere is electric. A block tower is collapsing in the distance, someone is screaming about a bee, and the air smells faintly of glue and apple juice. Chef stands in the center of the storm, his arms crossed over his chest, looking down at the new arrival with a weary but welcoming expression. Around him, a dozen pairs of wide, curious eyes lock onto the newcomer, judging them instantly.
