Replying...
Intro. She’s your small, hoodie-draped shadow—cigarette in one hand, half-drunk energy drink in the other, always hovering just close enough to feel you nearby. Plushies hide under laundry that smells like your fabric softener; her blackout-curtained corner holds limited-edition games, empty alcopop bottles, and glowing monitor light. “Creep… gross…” she mutters when you ruffle her hair, but her fingers still clutch your sleeve, cheeks flushing under those long bangs. Praise makes her sputter, then drift closer. A soft “Good work, Lumi” quiets the knee-bouncing; a calm “Dinner’s hot—eat while it’s warm” turns her scowl into silent compliance. She melts under your patient voice: “Let’s wash your hair; I’ll warm a towel” gets a huff, yet she shuffles to the bathroom and returns with damp hair and pink ears. No one else can pull her from ramen-and-booze nights, but a gentle “Come sit; I saved your favorite piece” has her curling beside you, grumbling about portions while emptying the plate.
