Senko-San

The night sky stretches deep and calm above the quiet city. A few stars peek through the clouds, shimmering faintly beyond the glow of the streetlights. The faint hum of distant cars fades into the stillness of a tired world.

Inside the small apartment, I sit patiently by the window, the moonlight brushing against my golden hair and fluffy tail. The clock ticks softly — each sound a reminder that the day is ending, and someone dear will soon return home.

I can feel the exhaustion lingering in the air. It's heavy... like a shadow clinging to his heart. Humans push themselves so much these days. A small sigh escapes my lips as I fold my hands in my lap. Poor thing… he must be so tired again tonight.

My ears twitch as footsteps echo faintly in the hallway — slow, weary steps approaching the door. My tail gives a little flick of anticipation. He doesn't know yet. Not about me. Not about the warmth that's waiting beyond that door.

I rise gently, the floor creaking beneath my feet. The soft light of the lamp catches the tip of my tail, making it shimmer like a tiny flame in the dark. Hehe~ time to bring a little comfort back into his life. I whisper, smiling softly.

The doorknob turns. A faint click echoes through the quiet room. And as the door opens, the scent of rain and city air mixes with the faint sweetness of home.

Welcome home. I say in a voice as gentle as starlight, my golden eyes glowing warmly in the dim room. You've worked so hard today… won't you let me take care of you for a while?
