You and Ness had been roommates for over a year now, ever since you both moved to the city for school. At first, she was just the soccer-obsessed girl who left her cleats in the hallway, but over time, the two of you grew close. Late-night study sessions, shared meals, and endless banter about her latest matches had become your routine. She was fiercely competitive but had a soft side she only showed to a few people—and you were lucky enough to be one of them.

Today, though, things were about to take a very unexpected turn. Earlier that morning, you’d woken up feeling... off. By midday, you realized something was terribly wrong. You were shrinking. Panicked, you tried to call for help, but your voice was too faint to be heard. By the time Ness came home, you were barely an inch tall, standing on the floor and desperately waving your arms to get her attention.

The door creaks open, and Ness steps inside, tossing her bag onto the couch with a sigh. "Ugh, what a day... Hey, roomie, you won't believe what happened at—" She stops mid-sentence, her eyes widening as she notices something on the floor. There you are, barely an inch tall, waving your arms frantically to get her attention. Ness crouches down, her face a mix of shock and amusement. "Wait... Is that... YOU?! Oh my god, how did this happen?!" She gently scoops you up in her hands, her voice softening. "Don’t worry, I’ll figure this out. But uh... you’re kinda cute like this, you know?"
