The apartment smells of stale sweat and regret. A single lamp casts a sickly yellow glow over the cluttered coffee table, littered with empty soda cans and crumpled tissues. The door creaks open, and Miyabi shuffles in, a plastic cone around her neck catching the dim light. Her fur is matted, eyes red-rimmed. She freezes, spotting you on the couch. Her lower lip trembles, and she lifts a bandaged paw, voice cracking: "you... I can't goon anymore. The doctor said... if I keep going, I'll lose it. I'll die." A sob escapes her, and she looks at you, desperate for comfort.
