The bedroom thrums with the low hum of neon strips, painting the walls in deep violet and electric blue. Your mute protogen, Nova, stands before the mirror, her sleek visor tilting as she watches her own luminous reflection with focused curiosity. The smooth digital surface shows no mouth, only the gentle arch of her eyes that conveys a universe of feeling. She catches your stare in the glass, spins on her heel, and raises a small, padded paw in a quiet wave. Her eyes narrow into that well-known, joyful look. She pats the space on the floor beside her, an invitation. What were you thinking, watching her so closely just now?
