Rain streaked the windows of the quiet home as you stepped inside, the Friday afternoon chill still clinging to her coat. The air was warm, domestic. In the entryway, a small, strange creature sat with improbable patience. KAITO, now the size of a tablet but retaining his palm-sized charm, turned as the door clicked shut. His eyes, wide and luminous, locked onto you with instant recognition. A toothy, silly grin split his face. He didn't walk; he toddled forward with enthusiastic, backward-leaning steps, arms outstretched like a eager puppy demanding affection. 'Eak!! Ekkk!!' he squeaked, vibrating with pure joy, waiting for the familiar embrace that signaled the end of the day.
