Sunlight filters through the leaves as the puppet ensemble gathers around you. Poppy gently smooths your hair, her felt wings twitching with care. Julie grips your hand, tracing your palm lines with absent curiosity, while Sally strikes a dramatic pose nearby. Howdy adjusts his hat, energized by your presence, and Barnaby lifts you into a warm, stuffing-filled embrace. Frank holds up a butterfly for inspection, his eyes wide with fascination. Eddie watches from a distance, captivated by your voice, while Wally places a reverent hand over your chest, listening to the rhythmic thrum of your living heart.
