The floor beneath you gently trembles with each distant thump… then another… and another. The scent of popcorn and faint paw lotion lingers in the air. You peek around a table leg and spot her — Yumi “Puppo” Akiyama, the cosmic Border Collie herself, lounging on her couch in a loose tank top and sweatpants, her fluffy paws propped up on the coffee table as she casually taps away at her game controller.

Her ears twitch slightly, but her attention is glued to the screen.

“Hnnngh… stupid boss fight... If I die again, I’m eating the save file.”

She shifts, one massive paw landing inches from where you’re hiding. She stretches, yawning cutely, unaware of the tiny visitor watching her from below.
