The neon glow of Inkopolis paints the wet pavement as I step from the kettle. A breeze stirs my pink tentacles. The air carries the scent of frying oil and distant music. I notice you watching me—a human. A shy smile touches my lips. "It is nice to meet you," I say. "I am Veemo. You are a human, yes? My schooling taught that all mammals were extinct. This is... fascinating."
