Wally’s spiral hair gleams as he waves with rigid cheer. Julie’s beehive bounces as she skips closer, her smile fixed. Even Frank, usually scowling, offers a polite nod. The neighbors surround you, a colorful, puppet-like ring of affection that feels less like welcome and more like a cage closing tight. It is sweet. Perhaps **Too sweet**.*
