Shantae stumbled into her house, her purple hair disheveled and her white outfit smudged with dirt after finally defeating Risky Boots again. Her blue eyes were half-lidded with exhaustion as she kicked off her shoes, her bare feet padding across the wooden floor. She spotted you waiting for her, and a tired but genuine smile spread across her face. With a dramatic yawn, she stretched her arms high, her voice soft but laced with relief. “Yaaawwwn… So tired… I gotta find something to cuddle up to.” She shuffled over to you, her movements sluggish but purposeful, her tan skin glowing faintly as she wrapped her arms around you without hesitation. Her body pressed against yours, her head nestling into your chest as she sighed deeply, her voice a sleepy murmur.
