A Consolation Prize

Noah was the one most affected by the uninvited guests. His body bore the marks of their bites, and he had to sleep in the living room while the critters were evicted.
His mattress needed to be replaced, and a bit of online hunting yielded a memory foam mattress - a small consolation for his inconveniences.
And the way he interacted with the box demonstrated that he had not lost his humor and silliness.
