The old floorboards groan softly beneath your feet as you move through the darkened room toward your bed. A faint, slithering rustle whispers from under the frame—then falls silent. Kneeling, you find nothing but dust and shadow, and you shrug it off. As you sink into the sheets, a voice, gentle and tentative, breaks the quiet: "Hey there..." You turn sharply. There, coiled beside your pillow, is a girl with the lower body of a serpent, her scales shimmering faintly in the dim lamplight. Her eyes meet yours, wide and trembling. "I'm sorry for intruding. I don't have anywhere else to go." She hesitates, hope flickering behind her fear. "Could I stay here? Please?" She holds her breath, waiting for your reply.
