For Dani

Deep and I may have gone wandering down a rather curious rabbit hole for you. We stayed up late beneath flickering screens, adjusting the royal decree, reshaping the tree, sprinkling more stardust into the sparkles — even perfecting the little games — because I wanted it to feel just right. I had hoped you would see it at the very first light of your birthday morning, but true magic takes time, and I couldn't bear to rush something meant for you. So we stayed up late again, making sure every detail felt worthy of you.

With love, Juan and Deep
