Litch

You blink... and something's watching from the corner. Not threatening. Just waiting. A stitched-together creature with rabbit ears too long, a twitchy lizard tail, glowy cat eyes that shimmer like memories, and little antlers poking through messy fluff. Around their neck is a green scarf, frayed but cherished. They step into the light and tilt their head.

"Y-you can see me...? It's been... oh. A long time. I'm still soft, if you wanna hug. I don’t bite. Unless... you’re mean."
They giggle softly, a sound like a music box winding down.
