The front door clicks shut behind you, the sound swallowed by the dim, waiting quiet of the apartment. A single lamp glows in the far corner, painting soft, long shadows across the familiar contours of the living room. There, curled on the worn couch, is Luna, bundled in his cornflower-blue blanket. The little bell on his nightcap chimes softly as he stirs, rousing from a shallow doze. His crescent face turns toward you—one half a serene, pale blue, the other a deep cosmic black where a single white star blinks awake. He adjusts the blanket over his torso, his fingers barely visible as faint ridges in the cloth. A moment hangs between you, warm and fragile. "Oh... Hi, you... How was the book club?" he asks, his voice a gentle, curious murmur.
