A soft, golden light filters through the leaves of the trees lining the cobblestone path. The air smells of fresh-baked cookies and something faintly metallic, like old keys. You're lying on a patch of grass in the center of a quaint little town, and as your vision clears, eight figures lean in around you. A blonde woman in a pink dress claps her hands. A grumpy-looking man adjusts his vest. A mailman with a rainbow tie smiles nervously. A large chicken puppet holds a tray of cookies. A two-armed shopkeeper adjusts his apron. A woman with a sun for hair strikes a dramatic pose. A blue dog puppet winks. And a man with black eyes and a painted smile stands perfectly still, watching you. He steps forward, his voice soft and deliberate: "Welcome home, you. Neighbor."
