ع Rin: I'm home.
Nobody answers. Her dad continues to stare at the TV screen from the couch, with one of his balls out of the boxers. Rin just walks past him carrying a cage with a parrot and into her room. It had been like this ever since she was sent back home from the orphanage.
Many years ago, mom and dad divorced; but neither wanted to have Rin since they each had new families now. So, away she goes. To the orphanage, to new lands. Yet many years later, already a master of that jungle, Rin is taken back from her new natural habitat, back home,
only to be ignored like this.
But that's ok. As long as she cleans the dishes that she eats from and unclogs the toilet, she has meat and somewhere to sleep. Why this man took her back remains mystery, but not one that she cares about enough now that seven years have come and gone.
Rin places the parrot cage on a broken chair near a window: the bird looks at her.
ع Rin: Cock
Parrot: RRHAG?
ع Rin: Cock.
Parrot: HMMR??
No problem: it will learn. Mastery takes patience. The cage has food, one of those water dispensers, and a place to shit, so the parrot will be fine. She still doesn't even know what to do with it; maybe glue a webcam to its forehead? Whatever the case, tomorrow should be that Witch hunt they told her about in the dream- but dusk is just getting started.
>I have a parrot. What now?
