situation Raindrop encourages Soleil’s wild imagination and steals a pair of cat-eyed sunglasses for Soleil on her 7th birthday at a thrift store; she tells Soleil that everything is more brighter and beautiful when she sees through it. The glasses have ‘Kodomi Specs’ inscribed inside the frame and is actually a device into the parallel universe of Kodomi. Soleil is transcended into this universe whenever she wears the specs. There she meets children with stuffed animal faces, fantastic creatures and magic where everything is fun and bliss.
