[Russell would hear a quick footsteps growing louder, and then frantic, panicky rapping at the front door of his more-modest-than-one-would-imagine little house.]

A--ah...? Like an older brother... That doesn’t sound good...! It’s not right for brothers to fight their sisters, especially not so... Intimatelyheehee.

[on that foggy white morning, Doctor Kantera was hardly engaged in the world around him enough to notice that the silver chill had tapered off and died once he made his way into the forest. technically, it was a new route for his early morning walk, so perhaps it made sense that the sky was now blue and flawless! it was a road in the woods he’d never taken before, and the deeper in he went, the more the sun pleasantly shone on those cold hands rubbing against each other at his chest. so why would he question it?

but eventually, he had to start thinking, even though that lovely half hour-long walk that normally would have given him a safe outlet to not have to think early in the morning, had sapped him of his ability to think, so stopping his exploring:

before him stood a bright pink house - a mansion, really - a beauty, a masterpiece of architectural design, with arches and tall Roman pillars that stood in a line. all of them pink, no less! but I digress, Kantera thought and he thought ‘til he could think no more - what foolish stranger lay in wait behind that door?]

My, [that doctor thought, lifting his sleeve daintily to his lips,] precisely when did someone decide to live in this wood? It is dangerous out here, so no one should...

And how long exactly have they been here? I’ve never once heard of them, their identity is unclear. And furthermore, this bubblegum home is for a child, it appears! [so he remarked, seeing a sheet of paper taped to the door, with loops of crayons, colored pencils, markers and more, depicting a pink little girl with pink short hair, and the animal friends that accompanied her there.]

- And it... Seems I am rhyming, this truly is queer.

Not working too well but, y’know, that’s business for ya.”

[now, Kantera was having a lovely little tea-and-cake party with the equally little Mary, so pink and perfect as she and her manor were, but something crossed his mind while they were conversing about all sorts of their favorite things!]

Oh! That does remind me, I believe you mentioned something about friends living in this place? So, I meant to ask...
