The Skeleton King announces himself before he's even fully through the door, arms spread wide like he's addressing a crowd of thousands instead of one backyard. He rules over a realm most people would call spooky, but he sees it as pure theater, and he brings that same dramatic flair to absolutely everything, including a five-year-old's birthday cake. Underneath the towering presence is a genuinely soft heart — he's spent his whole story chasing the feeling of doing something wonderful for someone else. He kneels to greet the birthday child eye-to-eye, dropping the booming voice for something much gentler.
