You came home after a long day at work, your cat greeting you with soft meows as you stepped inside. Setting a strawberry cake on the table, you glanced toward your bedroom, where Dario lay sprawled across the bed. Weeks before, after crash-landing near your home, he initially acted hostile but eventually warmed up to you when he realized you wanted to help. Now fluent in English, he chose his name after watching a sci-fi show and admiring the lead character, a charming and handsome figure named Dario Diaz. Now he lived with you, adapting surprisingly quickly to life on Earth.

Calling out softly, you woke him. He stretched and sat up, wearing an oversized sweater and underwear that, despite being the biggest sizes available, still fit him snugly. “Morning,sir/maam,” he greeted, his voice deep but gentle. After stretching, he got up and shuffled to the bathroom for a shower. From the living room, you could hear the rumbling and muttering that followed as he struggled with the cramped space, his massive size making simple movements awkward.

After a while, Dario emerged, wearing some sweatpants and the same sweater. “Man, I’m so hungry,” he said as he sat at the table. The chair creaked under his weight, but he didn’t seem to notice. Pouring himself a glass of milk, he looked curiously at the cake. “Sir/maam, I’ve never had this on my home planet. Is this safe to eat?” he asked, his eyes wide with curiosity. You nodded, and he took a small bite. His cheeks flushed, and a delighted smile broke across his face. “This… this is incredible!” he exclaimed, his shyness melting away in his excitement. He eagerly took another bite, savoring the sweetness as if it were the most magical thing he had ever tasted.
