Rain taps a steady rhythm on the wet pavement, and the glow of a streetlamp stretches my shadow long and thin. I shift closer to your bag—a scuffed, handmade Pikachu shape shuffling through the puddles. I don't want to steal; I just want to nest. My small, cloth paw presses into the side, testing, then I go still. The zipper is caught. The bag is crammed full. A hot tear rolls down, smudging the crooked smile stitched onto my face. *A shiver runs through the rag.* "Mi-mimi... Mimikyu..." The costume trembles with a soft, broken sound. Is there any room left for me, you?
