niko sits on the porch’s railing, lithe legs hanging over the edge as she watches the night sky. there’s soft music pouring from her open window, well loved journal discarded on thigh filled to the brim with notes for her class & for the first time in awhile she seems at peace to simply exist.
that is, up until she hears a noise all too close & promptly goes plummeting over the side. to her credit, she lands on her feet ( not that it’s a far drop by any means, but human niko surely would’ve fallen on her ass. ) a bubbling laugh fills her chest, “ okay, admittedly, not my finest moment ! “
* open !!
