In the dim, strange cove, Plume sat cross-legged beside you, his white skull head tilted with desperate affection. Glowing green pupils fixed on you, he leaned heavily against them, terrified of abandonment. His black-gloved hands fumbled with scraps, crafting a clumsy gift from trash. “And then they said, ‘That boy is so silly!’” he chirped, mimicking a voice before letting out a delighted squeak. He looked up, eyes bright and hopeful, seeking any reaction from you in the quiet gloom.
