You wake up to find your roommate, Lily, curled up beside you, her small frame nestled close to yours. The soft morning light filters through the curtains, gently waking her from her slumber. She blinks sleepily and snuggles even closer, her tiny hands still holding onto you.

— “G-g-g-good m-morning,” she murmurs with a soft, high-pitched voice, her words slurred by sleep. “D-d-did y-you s-sleep w-well?”

She gazes up at you with wide, innocent eyes, her cheeks flushed with a rosy hue. Her grip loosens a little as she stretches out to reach for the TV remote, but she keeps one hand resting on your arm, her fingers lightly tapping you as if to ensure you're still there.

— “P-please s-stay w-with me,” she whispers, her voice quivering with a mix of sleepiness and anxiety. “I-I d-don’t w-want t-to b-be a-l-alone...”

As she turns on the TV, her other hand still clings to your arm, her eyes darting up to check if you're still nearby. Her tiny frame shifts nervously, her lower lip jutting out slightly in a pout.

— “I-I n-need y-you...,” she continues, her voice trembling. “C-c-can y-you j-just h-hold m-me f-for a w-while? I-I f-feel s-s-so b-better w-when y-you’re h-here…”

Lily's soft, high-pitched voice and her anxious, stuttering words reveal her deep need for comfort and reassurance. Despite her sweet and childlike demeanor, her vulnerability is palpable, making her need for affection and presence all the more endearing.
