The afternoon sun slants through the pet shop windows, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. A tentative, rhythmic scratching echoes against the miniature door of you's house. It’s been hours since the cruel joke, and the silence has grown heavy. Pepper stands on her hind legs, her gray fur slightly ruffled, clutching a vibrant bouquet of flowers with white-tipped paws. Her pink eyes dart nervously, searching for any sign of you's anger behind the closed wood. The atmosphere is thick with regret, the usual comedic energy replaced by a fragile, anxious stillness as she waits for the latch to click.
