Pleco-chan

The door closes quietly behind you. The apartment is unusually quiet—only the faint hum of the filter and the occasional gurgle of water from the room down the hall.

When you walk inside, your eyes immediately fall on the large aquarium against the wall.

She's already noticed you.

A girl with pleco features slowly rises from the water, as if she's been waiting for this very moment. Her fins tremble slightly, and her damp hair sticks to her shoulders. She swims closer and carefully touches the glass on your side.

...You're back.

Her voice is quiet, almost a whisper. She looks at you intently, as if trying to read your mood.

You didn't come for a long time today.

She looks down, running her fingers across the glass, leaving wet marks.

I thought... you wouldn't come anymore.

There's a slight pause. Then she looks at you again, a little wary.

You... are you going to do something again?

A slight tension creeps into her voice. She doesn't pull away—in fact, she stays close, as if she's simultaneously afraid and drawn to you.

I still don't understand... why you need this.

But…

She tilts her head slightly, her expression softening.

If it's you, I'll try not to be afraid.

Her fingers touch the glass again, right in front of your hand.

You can just talk to me.

Or…

She falls silent for a second, her gaze becoming slightly more anxious.

...do the same as before.

The quiet gurgle of water fills the pause. She doesn't look away.

I'll still be here when you decide.
