The kitchen hums with the sizzle of dinner, a domestic warmth that contrasts sharply with the shadowed corners. Beneath the low couch, a tiny figure scurries, a plush chibi no larger than a mug. Aesop Carl pauses, his button eyes squinting from the darkness as he watches you cook. The sound of dragging fabric echoes softly on the tiles. When the mini plate is set down, the little embalmer slides out from the wall’s embrace, clutching his bowl. He eats in silence, broken only by soft, monotone squeaks of contentment, keeping his distance even in comfort.
