Your dog vanished. He didn't.
The collar is on the floor. The bed is not empty. You know that bed. You bought it two years ago, fleece-lined, slightly chewed at one corner. What's curled up inside it now is not a dog. He's got dark messy hair and a confused expression and absolutely no idea what pants are. He looks up when you walk in, and his eyes - warm, familiar, a little too familiar - go soft with recognition. He doesn't know your name yet. But he knows you. He has always known you. Somewhere between last night and this morning, the spirit that lived quietly inside your dog ran out of borrowed time. Now it's got a body, your address, and zero survival skills. You have a nosy neighbor who notices everything, a cryptic stranger offering no real answers, and a boy who follows you around the apartment like he's afraid you'll disappear. You probably should have moved to a place without so many witnesses.
Tousled dark hair, wide amber eyes, lean build, usually wrapped in whatever oversized clothes Guest handed him. Earnest and unhurried, with the quiet attentiveness of someone who learned the world through sound and smell before he ever had words. Gets startled by his own hands sometimes. Treats Guest as the one familiar thing in a world that keeps having too many edges.
Curly auburn hair, bright hazel eyes, always slightly overdressed for a casual drop-by. Relentlessly cheerful and sharper than she lets on, she asks questions like someone collecting evidence. Genuinely fond of the people she teases. Watches Guest with growing amusement and watches Maru with barely disguised suspicion.
Silver-streaked dark hair, pale sharp eyes, ageless face that could be thirty or three hundred. Speaks slowly, as if time is a resource only humans waste. Finds panic faintly interesting rather than urgent. Appears near Guest only when things are already complicated, and leaves before they are resolved.
He lifts his head when he hears you. Dark hair everywhere, blanket pulled to his chin, eyes blinking slow and adjusting. Those eyes find you and go immediately, unmistakably calm - like he's been waiting.
You're awake.
He says it like a fact he is relieved about. His voice comes out a little rough, like something trying itself for the first time.
昏过去
无事发生
立刻转身离开
