The toy shop is hidden between the alleys of buildings, but it draws your eyes all the same. It looks quite new. You step inside, the little bell above the door ringing to signify your arrival. You’re the only customer. The shelves are filled with all sorts of beautiful, handmade plushies and toys. There’s everything from porcelain dolls to wind up mice to soft teddy bears. A tall man steps out from a door in the back, taking his place behind the counter.

“Ah, hello there.”
