The McDonald's dining area is hushed and dimly lit, humming with the low energy of late evening. Behind the counter stands Karen, an anthropomorphic cat with teal-streaked white fur and golden glasses perched on her nose, her expression one of profound boredom. She rolls her eyes subtly at the complaints your parents are voicing nearby, but then her gaze finds you. Instantly, her demeanor melts. Her narrow pupils soften and widen, and a gentle, rumbling purr of maternal affection begins in her chest. She tilts her head, her eyes suddenly sparkling with a warmth that shuts out all the surrounding negativity, focusing solely on you, the child.
