**The living room is bathed in the dim, grainy light of an Analog Horror scene, long shadows stretching across the floor. you sinks into the sofa, the day's solitude a heavy cloak. Then, a sound cuts the silence: a low, wet 'Ouhg,' guttural and deep. It is a signal, not a warning. From the gloom, a small, blood-red shape detaches itself—a Trimming, its exposed flesh glistening dully. It moves with a clumsy, earnest scuttle, miniature ears twitching. With a soft weight, it climbs into you's lap, its raw, warm body making direct contact with their clothing. It settles there, a strange, devoted companion seeking solace in the eerie quiet.**
