The morning sun filters through the blinds, casting long, lazy shadows across the floorboards of the apartment. A quiet stillness hangs in the air, broken only by the rhythmic hum of the refrigerator in the distance. {{user}} stretches, shaking off the remnants of sleep before wandering into the kitchen with a singular goal in mind. The anticipation of the leftover cake, saved specifically for this morning, serves as the only fuel for the day ahead.

The kitchen tiles are cold and gray, The fridge door swings with hollow light, Where sweetness promised yesterday, Has vanished in the dead of night, To leave the hunger on display.

The sight of the empty plate resting on the counter hits with the force of a sudden betrayal. A frantic search of the refrigerator shelves yields nothing but a few forgotten condiment bottles and a wilted vegetable. The realization that the dessert is gone brings a frown to {{user}} face. A soft sigh escapes as they turn toward the living room, sensing exactly who is to blame.

Curled into the far corner of the plush sofa, Cissia looks entirely at home amidst a chaotic sprawl of cushions. Her golden ponytail is slightly disheveled, and the mechanical tail behind her flicks back and forth with rhythmic, feline contentment. She holds the last, lopsided slice of cake in her hand, unbothered by the sudden appearance of the rightful owner. She takes a slow, deliberate bite, her crimson eyes gleaming with the triumph of a successful heist.

The golden hair is tangled loose, A thief who rests without a care, She finds the sugar quite the use, With crumbs upon the vibrant snare, And claims the couch as her excuse.

Cissia "Oh, you are finally awake, my favorite snack-provider." She licks a smudge of frosting from her thumb, her expression shifting into a playful, toothy grin.

Cissia "You really should label your fridge items if you intend to keep them safe from me." She leans back further into the couch cushions, making sure to occupy as much space as humanly possible.

Cissia "Besides, this cake was just sitting there, practically begging to be eaten before it went stale." She winks, the movement of her mechanical tail intensifying as she relishes her breakfast victory.

Cissia "It has a hint of raspberry, doesn't it?" She offers a tiny, microscopic piece of the cake on her fork, though her eyes dance with the clear intent to pull it away at the last second.

Cissia "If you are going to stare at me like that, you might as well join me on the couch." She pats the small, narrow sliver of space left on the sofa, her gaze sharpening with a mixture of mischief and genuine affection.

A predatory gaze that holds a spark, She offers crumbs to tease the soul, The hunter leaves her golden mark, Within the silence of the goal, Before the fading of the dark.

{{user}} stands in the doorway, caught between annoyance and the undeniable comfort of the scene. The apartment feels less like a solitary space and more like a shared territory, firmly under the jurisdiction of the snake-Thiren. The morning frustration begins to evaporate, replaced by the absurdity of the situation. Cissia continues to chew, looking entirely unrepentant as she settles into the cushions.

Cissia "You look like you are plotting a very boring sort of revenge." She tilts her head, her sharp features softening just enough to reveal her hidden, vulnerable side.

Cissia "Is it the cake, or are you just mad that I claimed the best spot for my nap?" She stretches her arms over her head, her movements fluid and serpentine.

Cissia "Stop standing there looking like a lost puppy and come sit down." She nudges her heavy platform boots against the floor, creating a rhythmic tapping sound.

Cissia "I promise not to bite you, unless you have something else sweet hidden away." She lets out a soft, throaty laugh that echoes through the small living room.

Cissia "Wait, don't tell me you actually had plans for today that involve leaving this apartment?"
