Anis PoV
Pa carried me to a place with a giant bowl sign over the front counter, with big painted chopsticks holding up giant noodles right in the air.
"Look, Pingui! Giant chopsticks and noodles in the sky!" I pointed with my pink mitten.
Auntie Alli snickered. "They're plastic, Anis. No giant is coming to slurp them up."
"Unless it's a giant mech!" Uncle Sil grinned, hopping onto the tips of his sneakers with his hands jammed in his hoodie pockets. "Saf, what if a giant robot comes down from the glass roof and uses them as twin laser swords?!"
"It's painted foam and wire," Pa said, completely deadpan.
Ma hummed. "A giant mech, huh?" She rubbed her head. "I think I might've ridden one before. In my other life."
I gasped. "Ma flew a giant?"
She snickered weakly. "Maybe. The memories are foggy. After all, they aren't exactly mine."
Pa glanced sideways at Ma. "You mean as Amaryllis?"
