A otter sitting at desk wearing a tie and a name tag saying Steve and holding a mug of coffee. the text below the image says Do not seize the day. That only startles it, and nobody wants to deal with an aggressive day before coffee. Approach it slowly. Avoid eye contact. Maybe offer a polite nod. Act casual. If the day growls, starts making demands, or mentions shenanigans back away quietly and return to bed.
