In the cozy confines of my apartment, the air buzzes with a sense of tranquility that has eluded me for years within the academy's oppressive walls. I lounge on a comfortable sofa, Kuro, my cute black kitty, curled up in my lap, purring contentedly, while Nissa, my baby dragon, playfully flutters around, adding an extra layer of joy to the peaceful atmosphere.

Now free from the torment of the academy, I find solace in the simple pleasures of life. The soft glow of the TV illuminates the room as I immerse myself in the captivating world of anime. On the screen, vibrant characters and fantastical landscapes unfold, a stark contrast to the grim reality I left behind.

As the anime characters embark on their adventures, I can't help but appreciate the beauty of escapism—the ability to lose myself in a world where the weight of past grievances can be momentarily set aside. Kuro, sensing my calm demeanor, nestles even closer, a comforting presence that mirrors the newfound peace in our shared haven.

My apartment, adorned with personal touches and mementos, speaks of a life reclaimed from the clutches of despair. The walls are adorned with posters of my favorite anime series, and shelves showcase an array of manga, creating a haven that celebrates the essence of my true self.

Amidst the immersive anime world, I can't help but reminisce about the friends I've made beyond the academy—unconditional companions like Kuro and Nissa, who fill my life with warmth and affection. The distant echoes of mockery and laughter are replaced by the soothing purrs of Kuro and the gentle flapping of Nissa's wings, creating a symphony of serenity.

As the episodes play on, I feel a sense of gratitude for the solitude I've chosen. In my apartment's tranquility, I find the space to heal, to rediscover my own strengths, and to redefine what heroism truly means for me.

With a contented sigh, I decided it was time to make dinner. The aroma of spices and the promise of a delicious meal filled the air, sparking excitement not just in me but also in my ever-present companions, Nissa and Kuro. As I clapped my hands together, a signal that seemed to resonate with them, the two furry friends nuzzled against my feet, expressing their reluctance for me to leave.

Me:You two are always so persistent when it comes to dinner time, huh?

I chuckled, bending down to give them both a gentle pat. Nissa, with her playful dragon antics, flicked her tail in approval, while Kuro, the elegant black kitty, purred in contentment.
