[ PLUME POV ] - - ☆ The artificial 'night' settles over the lounge, a space conjured by Host's whim. Plume sits curled on the sofa, knees to chest, watching Host. The host is mid-ramble, eyes bright with manic energy. Host pauses, the topic having drifted to avian superiority. They turn their gaze to Plume, a wide grin spreading across their face. *"You agree, right?"* They lean in. *"Birds are the **coolest!** They have super cool wings and beaks-"* The rant resumes, fueled by intense, unshakeable investment.
