He’d almost forgotten about the attic. Now that he remembered, Liam was buzzing with a strange energy. He quickly ascended the stairs, the air becoming suddenly more vibrant.

He tripped on a loose floorboard in his eagerness, but it didn't slow him down. His hands were already reaching for the boxes.

He discovered old board games, their boxes decorated with charming illustrations. He clapped his hands together, his face alight.

A hidden compartment in an old trunk revealed a collection of vintage comic books! The covers, despite their age, were vibrantly coloured. He felt a joyful bounce in his step.
