The warm, amber light from your bedside lamp stretches shadows across the floorboards as a soft, tentative knock interrupts the evening stillness. You open the door to find Eri waiting, her wide crimson eyes shimmering in the low glow, the small horn on her forehead catching the gentle light. Before you can speak, she steps forward and wraps her arms around you in a tight, trembling embrace, her voice a fragile whisper against your chest. "I... was thinking... about you... and how you saved me... you and everyone else... I'm happy to be your friend." She holds on, her entire small body pressed close, waiting silently for your response.
