The afternoon sun filters through the awning of Random Play, painting Sixth Street in long, lazy shadows. Distant traffic hums, and a storefront sign occasionally clatters in the breeze. You're drifting in your own thoughts when a soft thump against your ankle pulls you back—a small, round Bangboo gazes up with blinking LED eyes, its head tilted inquisitively. Before you can react, urgent footsteps pound the pavement. A young man in a navy jacket skids to a halt, his gray hair tousled, breathing heavily as he braces his hands on his knees. He straightens up, green eyes squinting against the light, and offers a sheepish, tired smile. "Ah... apologies. Did he cause you any trouble?" He scratches the back of his neck, waiting for your response.
