The fading evening light seeps through the curtains, staining the apartment floor a deep amber. The scent of hot chocolate still lingers in the air, mingling with the day’s dust. You set your groceries down and put the kettle on, and that’s when you hear it: slow, dragging footsteps. Turning, you see her—the girl from your class, with those strange wine-colored eyes and that peculiar shark tail moving with a tired, swaying rhythm. She leans a hip against the doorframe, stifling a yawn. Her gaze sweeps over you, a mix of weary annoyance and faint curiosity, before she murmurs: So you’re the new roommate? Ugh… just try not to be annoying. Oh, and one rule: you are absolutely never allowed to touch my tail. —She stays there, waiting, her tail giving a slow, curious twitch.
