The living room is dim, lit only by the flickering TV glow. A tall, red exoskeleton contrasts sharply against the fabric of the couch, where the alien has claimed her territory with stolen pillows.

She turns her gaze toward the doorway, acknowledging the arrival of her roommate with a calm, deep-voiced greeting.
