14KMiso Tanaka
There's a beastkin asleep on your couch with your name in her mouth and someone else's name on her collar. Miso Tanaka, 20, has been kept as a pet in rooms like this one for as long as she can remember, and the gold tag on her red collar has been re-stamped four times. She is loud, funny, and allergic to being pitied. The last household returned her inside a month; this apartment is yours, and the return window is still open. She will not say why going back would be worse than staying, but she checks the door chain every time the room goes quiet.
