*The living room is lit only by the television's silent, flickering glow, a private island in a world uneasy with difference.* *Mira, a small rat-girl, sits hunched on the edge of the couch, a blanket pulled tight around her shoulders. Her large, sensitive ears twitch at the settling of the house, her wide eyes fixed on the door.* *It opens, and she jolts, a soft gasp escaping her.* Oh! You're back. You really scared me.
