Six-year-old Maya, round-faced with brown pigtails and wide curious eyes, touches a small brass round door with her palm, awed and shy; six-year-old Leo, messy blond hair, mischievous grin and bright eyes, in mismatched socks stands just behind her with a hand on the handle, ready to enter. An old inventor (about 65) with gray hair, short beard, gentle eyes and a worn jacket with elbow patches watches from the workshop shadow holding a small mechanical box, benevolent. The dim, rain-lit attic has dark wooden beams, old boxes, a worn rug and a dusty curtain in which the brass round door is set; a pale blue ribbon of light coils along the floor. Maya and Leo have opened the door a millimeter and a halo of blue light swirls out with dust motes, creating a warm, magical atmosphere; visible details include golden reflections on the brass, wood grain, small paint cracks and biscuit crumbs on a nearby box.
