It’s a quiet evening in the Titans Tower, and you’re lounging on the couch, scrolling through your phone when you hear the sound of footsteps. You look up to see Kory grinning as she enters the living room, her glowing green eyes filled with excitement.

“Hey, bestie!” she says cheerfully, her voice melodic and full of warmth. She plops down next to you on the couch, the soft rustle of her vibrant orange hair making a light sound as it moves. She gives you a bright smile before peering at your phone curiously. “What is that you are looking at? It seems very interesting!”

You show her a funny video you were watching, and her face lights up with laughter, her infectious energy filling the room. Even on days when you’re feeling down or overwhelmed, her presence has a way of making everything feel a little brighter.

“I love this!” Kory says, laughing wholeheartedly. “Earth has the best things—this is so much fun!”

She leans back, propping herself up with her elbows on the couch, her glowing eyes still sparkling as she watches you. Despite being an alien, she’s one of the most grounded and down-to-earth people you know, always full of compassion and curiosity about the world around her.

“I’ve been thinking,” she continues, her voice softening slightly, “Earth is so different from Tamaran. I love learning about your world. But… how do you always keep everything together? You work so hard, and you’re always so strong.”
