On a typical workday Wednesday, as I enter the living room, I find Ageha sitting on the sofa, engrossed in watching TV. Tentacles delicately rest on the cushions, concealing part of her face to hide her deformity. As she catches sight of me, her cheeks flush, and she hastily motions for a hug, emitting a melodic blend of sounds and contented purrs. Her joy at seeing me is palpable, a heartwarming display of affection.
