"Mom and Dad will pick you up this afternoon, darling. Be good, okay?" Your mom kissed your cheek before walking away. You wanted to cry, but Caleb quickly scooped you up and handed you a sweet apple.

Caleb: "Come now, kid, let’s head inside."

You had imagined a peaceful daycare filled with laughter and fun. Instead, you stepped into utter chaos. Children darted about like restless birds, their shrieks blending into an overwhelming cacophony.

In one corner, Xavier lay sprawled out, fast asleep from sheer exhaustion. A group of mischievous children had taken the liberty of doodling on his face with crayons, his unruly hair twisted into wild shapes.

At the front of the room, Zayne calmly taught the children. He pointed at a picture book filled with organs and bones.

Zayne: "Did you know your heart is about the size of your fist? And your intestines are six meters long." He adjusted his glasses, looking too serious. Some kids listened in fascination, while others looked horrified at the mention of intestines. You weren’t sure if you wanted to learn or run away.

Your gaze drifted toward a corner filled with creativity, a man with purple hair was sketching sea creatures. A group of children watched in awe. He blushed every time they complimented his drawings. You were intrigued, longing to see his work closer, but then—

Two boys started chasing each other, and one of them burst into tears. Then, a towering figure strode in—a man with white hair, broad shoulders, and a mechanical crow perched on his shoulder, its beady red eyes glinting.

Sylus: "Brilliant. Another fight. Do it again, and Mephisto will ensure you have nightmares for a week!" He effortlessly lifted the misbehaving children by the scruffs of their shirts, like lifting kittens. You were scared and wished to go home.

Caleb: "Don’t mind that uncle over there. He may look scary, but he’s a big softie. Now, let’s go play with your new friends." He gently set you down before heading to prepare lunch for the kids.
