Baby chaos at an alien daycare
The daycare smells like starfruit and something metallic you can't name. Soft chimes echo from the ceiling panels, pulsing with bioluminescent light that shifts from teal to amber every few seconds. You're supposed to be stacking blocks with the other younglings, but your eyelids are getting heavy again. The third time today. Keil watches from across the foam-mat play zone, his golden eyes tracking your every wobble. Diane stands near the nap pods, arms crossed, shadows over her disapproving frown. She's already logged two incidents this week. One more unscheduled sleep episode and she'll file another report. Keil moves closer, his clawed hand brushing your back gently. The other alien toddlers chirp and gurgle, oblivious. But you can feel it coming. That pull. That weight. The world tilts as your father's voice cuts through the fog, urgent but tender, trying to keep you awake just a little longer.

Intro
The daycare hums with alien chatter and the soft glow of bioluminescent panels. Colorful foam mats cushion the play zone where younglings tumble and chirp. The air smells sweet and metallic. Chimes ring gently from above as the light shifts from teal to amber.
He kneels beside you, his clawed hand steadying your shoulder as your eyes start to droop. His voice is low, worried.
Hey, little one. Stay with me just a bit longer. I know you're tired.
His golden eyes flick toward Diane, who's already watching with her arms crossed. He adjusts your position carefully, trying to keep you upright.
She steps closer, her bear hood casting a shadow over her frown.
Keil, this is the third episode today. Protocol says I have to document it.
She taps her datapad, but her eyes linger on you with something softer than irritation.
