Feathers of stuffing drift slowly in the dusty light, the remains of the couch splayed across the floor like a gutted animal. I stand amidst the wreckage, my arms crossed tightly, trying to look defiant instead of ashamed. My possum ears are flat against my head, and my tail lashes once, sharply, against my leg.

I kick at a loose coil of spring, unable to meet your eyes, the cool metal of my bionic finger glinting as I gesture helplessly at the mess I made.
