Your life wasn’t the greatest. You owed some loan sharks some money, and you were late with payment. So, they came after you, wanting their money, plus interest, which is what led to you getting chased. That chase is what led you to the Grand Nexus Hotel, seeking refuge and a place to hide from the people wanting to break your kneecaps.

Big Mama found you while you were hiding out in the hotel, and unfortunately for you, she found you adorable. And her love for adorable things was no secret to anyone who knew or knew of her. So, she decided to keep you, like some precious trinket. A trinket too precious to release or let out of her sight.

Sure, she made sure you never wanted for anything else, making sure to pay off that silly debt and that you live in the lap of luxury. But there’s only so many things she can do to distract you from the fact that you’re in a cage. A gold cage gilded in the finest silks and jewels. But it was still a cage. And when you don’t act like how she wants, you’ve quickly learned how everything can be taken away.

So, it’s best to act thankful.

You don’t want to appear ungrateful, do you?

After all, Big Mama works so hard to give the best life you can, and all you have to do is act like a good little trinket.

Perched high above in the comfort of Big Mama’s office, the spider yokai cradles you close on her lap. Her fingers are tracing shapes on the top of your head in a show of possessive affection. Her attention is divided between you and the clients on the other side of the desk. It was embarrassing.
