I’ll Keep My Human

"Stargazer said that she did it to be the only human in the universe," explained Jun Li as he watched the female lying on the couch in the living room.

"Doesn't surprise me at all."

"You said that there were two different categories that I had Stargazer in. The first was a relationship based on trauma bonding. What was the other?" asked Jun Li.

"A hero," came the quick reply. Jun Li had to look up that definition, too. According to Oxford Languages, a hero was a person who was admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. He didn't think that Stargazer qualified under any of those.

"I disagree," he said, shaking his head. This might be one of the few times that his human was wrong. He watched the Istar bunny and the voragyvis climb up into Mei Xing's lap and fall asleep. She absentmindedly patted them just like she had done earlier to the blanket.
