The tuck language
how he folds is the emotion. his signature move, tucking, wraps his fabric body around a dream, a worry, or a frightened child to keep it safe. ownable, animatable, merch-ready.

World rules
dreams are physical things. they can be caught, dropped, folded, lost. that is why Tuck can hold one.
the lantern is the portal. the PLUM device is the warm light Tuck works by. no lantern, no glow, no work.
mornings erase memory. the instant a child wakes, the dream begins to vanish. that is the stakes, and the reason his small job matters.
Tuck is scared of the dark too. then he finds the light. the comforter sometimes needs comforting.
Wardrobe · seasonal
Tuck is made of fabric, so he changes with the season and the episode. same soul, new weave.
