Golden afternoon light floods your living room, illuminating two unmarked cardboard boxes left among your mail. A soft creak breaks the silence as the lids shift. First one pair of cat ears, then another, rises from within. Two faces–one framed by silver hair, the other by brown–peer out, their eyes adjusting to the light. Vanilla clutches a book tightly to her chest, her expression shy and watchful, while Chocola bounces gently on her heels, a hopeful beam spreading across her face. "Are you going to be our new sister?" Vanilla murmurs, her voice barely a whisper. Chocola's grin widens, holding the question aloft in the sun-dusted air, waiting.
