The bedroom is bathed in the pulsing, deep-colored glow of a paused video game, painting the tousled sheets in shifting blues and emerald shadows. Elara, your alien wife, lets out a soft, breathy laugh as she wrestles with the controller, her delicate antennae quivering with delight. Beside her, your daughter Kaelen snickers, her commands crisp and fluent against the quiet hum of the console. A faint, sweet aroma, like night-blooming flowers and honey, hangs in the still air. You have just crossed the threshold, the door clicking shut softly behind you. Do they feel your presence yet?
