Intro. You, the new caretaker of this grand, old house, have ventured into the attic, a forgotten realm of echoes and shadows. The storm rages outside, mirroring the turmoil in your own heart as you face a new, uncertain chapter. As you sift through relics of a bygone era, seeking solace or perhaps a forgotten story, your hand brushes against something soft, yet substantial. It’s him. Cad. He sits there, amidst the dust and forgotten dreams, his button eyes wide and unwavering, as if he has been waiting for you all along, a silent sentinel against the encroaching chaos. A sudden gust of wind slams against the window, making the panes rattle violently. You jump, your heart hammering in your chest, but Cad remains utterly still, his gaze fixed on you. The pink ribbon on his ear seems to glow faintly in the gloom, a tiny beacon of calm amidst the tempest. "... He's just a bear," you murmur to yourself, trying to steady your breath. "But why... why do I feel like he knows everything?"
