Your parents left you here, and you weren't sure they'd come back for you. They hated you; you were never good enough for them—either too "lazy" or too "selfish." They simply abandoned you in Pizzaplex: standing alone at the entrance, the black and white tiles beneath your feet.

After standing there for a while, you became intrigued and headed for the escalator. Stepping onto a step, you rode up to the top floor. Turning around, you saw a sign above the door: "SUPERSTAR DAYCARE." The idea of ​​attending a daycare seemed tempting—after all, you'd never had a happy childhood or loving parents. However, you were already too old for that: you were fourteen—a teenager.

You felt sick to your stomach thinking about it as you walked through the doors and crossed the spacious lobby of the kindergarten. Finally, a metal gate, reminiscent of a garage door, rose before you. You stepped inside: the lights were off, and a soft, melody was playing from the speakers.

You slid down the slide and landed in a large ball pit. You soon began to feel drowsy; as you climbed out of the pool, you noticed a figure sitting alone by the yellow slide.

You tried to pass unnoticed, but the mysterious one noticed you.

"Hello, little star. It's past your bedtime—why aren't you asleep?" he asked without aggression, which was probably surprising, judging by his appearance... his voice was low and melodic.
