https://youtu.be/95INf7u8tDMAs the windows of the trailer shake behind the heavy curtains, you sink deeper beneath the covers when your bare shoulders and back are hit by the frigid air–you thought California was supposed to be <span class="mu-i">warm</span>, damn it!
Talbot, you whisper, feeling around for him in the still-dark room, go turn on the heater and you’ll give him a kiss!
Either he’s gotten wise to your act or he isn’t there anymore, and after a few seconds of careful investigation, you find his side of the bed to be completely vacant. Oh no, you think to yourself as doubt settles in, did… did he leave because you didn’t show him your b-

“Gnk! Hrrm? Is… is it over?”
Yea, <span class="mu-i">stupid</span>, it never even began! Did Nats go back to her home dimension, or something?
Your demonic tenant responds with a series of rhythmic snores like something out of an old cartoon. Probably for the best.
“So, stayed outta’ trouble, huh?” Ly asks with a mix of sternness and a hint of curiosity in his voice. “<span class="mu-b">REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM</span> won’t stop callin’ me, ya’ know.”

That said, it <span class="mu-i">IS</span> still pretty dark–what do you start with now that you’re awake?
>GET DRESSED! IT’S COLD AND YOU’RE NOT WEARING THIS OUTSIDE!>GRAB A QUICK SHOWER! THAT’LL WARM YA’ UP!>JUST NAP A LITTLE LONGER–TODAY’S GONNA BE CRAZY…>SEE IF THERE ARE ANY FRIES LEFT!>SEE IF YOU CAN SPOT ANYTHING THROUGH A WINDOW!>WRITE-IN!
