In the frozen hills of Rhuv, the Sigrunsgjalfi Children’s Home sits silent beneath a sky of unfamiliar stars. No lights glow in the windows and no signs of celebration mark the coming of Alf Gappen’s Day. Yet in the stillness, a single sleeping child hums a quiet tune that carries impossibly far across the snow. Three spirits hear it and cross the tundra to a place stripped of joy, determined to bring warmth and wonder. We are:<a href="https://bsky.app/profile/brennanleemulligan.bsky.social">Brennan Lee Mulligan</a><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/erikaishii.bsky.social">Erika Ishii</a><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/aabria.bsky.social">Aabria Iyengar</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/sweetlouzinho/">Lou Wilson</a>Produced by Taylor Moore at Fortunate Horse, original score by Will Savino, and edited and designed by Jared Olson. <a href="https://www.patreon.com/worldsbeyondnumber?filters[tag]=Public%20Episodes" target="_blank">Transcript of this episode coming soon! </a>
