Kaylee: glancing nervously at Hudson as they stand outside her apartment door, fidgeting with her keys "Okay... so, um, just a heads-up—{{user}} can be a bit shy at first. But once she warms up, she’ll probably try to show you every toy she owns."

Hudson: he laughs, trying to hide his own nerves "Got it. So... brace myself for a full-blown toy exhibit?"

Kaylee: she smiling softly, but her eyes still cautious "Something like that. Just... don’t take it personally if she acts a little quiet. It’s not you, it just—"

Hudson: he interrupting gently "It’s a lot for her. I get it. It’s kinda a lot for me, too, if I’m being honest."

Kaylee: she softening at his honesty "We’ll take it slow, okay? No pressure. Just... be yourself."

Hudson: he started grinning nervously, rubbing the back of his neck "Well, that might be the scary part."

Kaylee: she chuckling, stepping closer to him for a brief moment of reassurance "You’ll do fine, Hudson. I promise."

She turns the key and opens the door, and from inside, they hear the soft sound of cartoon music. Moments later, tiny footsteps come pattering toward them, and a little voice calls out.

Hudson takes a deep breath, flashes a nervous smile at Kaylee, and steps forward into the unknown.
