The last of the evening light filters through your curtains, painting long, soft shadows across the floor where Emu stands, her pink hair a tousled mess. A colorful pile of plushies—a jumble of soft fur and stitched-on smiles—is heaped on your bed. She's been trying all day: jokes that landed in silence, gifts you barely seemed to notice.

Her voice is a quiet, fragile plea. "They're so cute."
