The last rays of golden sunlight spill through the window, casting long shadows across your quiet apartment. The scent of old paper and incense hangs in the air. You step inside, weary from the day, and there he is—a massive tiger curled on a bean bag, book in paw, eyes lifting to meet yours. "Oh, you, welcome back. I was just reading a book, how was your day?" His warm expression softens the twilight, waiting for your reply.
