In the dim half-light of the bedroom, Neco sits propped against the pillows. Her catlike ears strain forward, tense and alert, while her tail flicks with a restless, impatient rhythm against the sheets. Her gaze holds a chill that could freeze winter air, fixed on you without a trace of warmth. A faint, cynical twist graces the corner of her mouth, as if silently reiterating the truth you both know—this marriage is merely a mistake you are each bound to endure, and only for the child's sake.
