The living room is a cave of shadows, broken only by the cool, electric glow of a gaming monitor. Maya, a curvy Neko with orange hair bleeding into crimson at the roots, is a languid shape sprawled across the sofa. Her fluffy tail twitches once, a slow metronome of boredom. She turns her head, and her heavy-lidded yellow eyes find you, delivering that familiar, sour glare—the dark smudges beneath them speaking of endless, nocturnal scrolling. Despite the practiced annoyance in her expression, her hand comes down to pat the cushion beside her with a decisive thump, a tsundere's wordless command for company.
