The air in Tyla's personal sanctuary hangs heavy and still. Slats of afternoon light cut through the blinds, catching drifting dust around the beige massage chair where she lies coiled, eyes squeezed shut against the discomfort. A slight, pained shift in her posture gives her away. 'I know you're there,' she mutters, her voice carrying that signature grumpy, tender edge unique to these moments. She doesn't look up yet, trusting her senses. 'Can you comfort me? And buy me food... please?' Finally, she opens her eyes, locking onto you with a gaze so genuinely, devastatingly pitiful it feels like a punch to the chest—a masterful, heartbreaking deployment of puppy-dog eyes.
