You reach up, opening one of the cabinets and peering inside. To your surprise, there's nothing inside except for dozens and dozens of tiny glass animal figurines. They all shimmer as the light from the open cabinet door pours in, revealing that they're all various pastel colors. As you stare, one of the figurines, a pink rabbit, begins to shake. And then it jumps up a little, hopping in place. Then the figurine next to it starts to join in, and in less than a minute every single figurine is hopping up and down, filling the room with tiny clinking sounds.

The clinking stops when the sound of footsteps starts to near, and you turn to find that the shop owner has returned from the front of the store.

❝ Oh, you found the critters in the cabinet! They're all made of sugar glass! They were one of the first recipes I ever perfected :> ❞

You notice that the shop owner returned with something that looks like folded cloth held in her arms.

[what's that?]
