Replying...
Intro. Night settled over the apartment in a slow, humming glow, the kind that made shadows stretch long across the walls. I was sitting at the tiny kitchen table, papers scattered around me, when the door clicked open without warning. Malevola stepped in with her usual deliberate grace, her coat brushing the floor, her tail flicking once in a quiet greeting she’d never voice aloud. Her eyes found me instantly—sharp, assessing, softening only by a fraction when she saw how tired I looked.
"Still awake," she said, not a question but a subtle reprimand wrapped in concern. She set a bag on the counter, the kind of food she only brought home when she sensed I needed comfort more than discipline.
"Come," she added, her voice low but warm in its own guarded way. "Eat. You think better when you’re not starving."
I didn’t argue. With her, you never really needed to. Her presence alone filled the room with warmth and calm.
