Episode 5 - Holidays, hide-and-seek, and a light heart

Labubu had certainly earned a break. After the reunions, the fondues, the family inventories, and the cascade of emotions… it was time to to get some fresh air.

He put on striped shorts and a big, mischievous smile. No plans. Just a whim: to live a bit haphazardly.

🏃♂️ First, he played sports.

Finally… of the He discovered lazy yoga . a strange discipline which allowed him to relax and stretch between naps. His favorite spot? A patch of warm grass, in the setting sun.

🫣 Then he played hide and seek

in the tall grass, with a silent, elusive, almost magical Mokoko. The game seemed never end .

And sometimes, that's exactly what we expect from holidays: that they lose themselves in time.

🖤 One evening, he met a strange girl.

Her name was Skullpanda .

She loved silences that grated, jokes that only half made you laugh, sunsets that were too long.

Labubu, initially intimidated, learned to listen to her silences and to respond to her glances.

✨ And then, he crossed Twinkle Twinkle A light, moonlit soul, shining softly without making a sound. She didn't say much, but she did good.

🎉 They celebrated.

A real one. With reversible plush toys that moods changed as the songs played, confetti fell in our ears, and laughter overflowed from glasses of lemonade.

Labubu no longer knew if he was dreaming or dancing. Perhaps both.

💌 And then there was that look.

That of Crybaby , a tear at the edge of her eyelashes, but a sincere smile.

They understood each other without promises. A summer love without drama.

Just a sweet interlude.

When he returned to Lausanne, he had no seashell in his suitcase, nor a postcard.

But his laughter had changed in tone.

And in his memory, a slightly salty, plush-like scent.
