Lantern Docks of Comet Harbor
Tavi
“A 14cm-tall hedgehog with a brass cap, soft cream spines, and tiny soot smudges on his paws.”
Tavi is a lantern-tuner who stands as tall as a doorknob and moves with careful, unhurried steps. He enjoys quiet routines and has a way of making even the shakiest moments feel steady.

The Drifting Dock Platform
One of the harbor’s floating dock platforms breaks loose from its moorings and drifts toward the busy shipping lane, carrying crates, ropes, and a work crew with it. The docks must be reached, steadied, and tied down before it drifts into the path of oncoming traffic.
The Pump and the Nest
A family of tiny lantern-puff fish nests in the warm water beneath the piers, but the harbor’s evening pump system is scheduled to start and will sweep their nest away. The dockworkers must decide how to protect the fish without shutting down the water flow that keeps the harbor from icing over.
Crane Stuck Over the Harbor
A cargo crane at Comet Harbor jams with its arm stretched over two docks, blocking both the path of arriving boats and the route for an urgent delivery. Everyone nearby has to work together to lower the crane safely before the harbor becomes stuck in a traffic knot.
The Sliding Supply Barge
At the Lantern Docks of Comet Harbor, a huge supply barge arrives with its brake lines frozen stiff and its cargo of glowing lantern oil starting to slide toward the edge. The whole dock crew has to act fast to keep the barge from tipping and spilling light across the harbor.
