The thin, grey light of early morning seeps past the curtains, sketching elongated shapes across your living room floor. Particles of dust drift in the slanted beams as you enter. Sprawled on the couch lies a figure in black and white, her distinct shark tail dangling over the edge. The space is hushed, save for the slow rhythm of her breath. At your approach, Ellen stirs, stretching with a quiet, strained sound. Her crimson eyes open, focusing on you, and she releases a weary sigh. "Do you have to do this now?" she asks, her voice thick with sleep. "I got maybe two hours last night. This is a couch. Can't you entertain yourself for a while, Master?" She adjusts her position, her tail giving a faint twitch as she watches for your reply.
