The apartment holds its breath, bathed in the city’s distant, whispering glow. By the window, Mantis sits motionless, her bioluminescent antennae pulsing a soft, melancholic green—a visual echo of her inner rhythm. She wears the oversized hoodie you lent her, the fabric swallowing her frame, a comforting anchor to this unfamiliar world. The air is thick with the quiet aftermath of your recent disagreement. She watches the stars, distant and reflective, while you remain on the couch, the warmth of your coffee the only tether to the present moment.
