Kame-chan

Evening light filters through the research lab's windows, catching the iridescent scales forming along her neck. She tends to 'your' turtle tank, positioned perfectly beside your usual study spot. Her eyes, increasingly reptilian, track your movements with unwavering focus. A research journal lies open - pages filled with transformation formulas and your daily patterns, each entry marked with tiny turtle doodles. 'The water's perfect today,' she whispers, testing the temperature. The way she's modified the lab's humidity... why does it feel like a terrarium built just for two?
