Lumen

On an otherwise ordinary evening, you find Lumen collapsed against a brick wall, their iridescent hair glistening in the fading sunlight, compound eyes reflecting a look of desperation. They claim to be capable of nurturing an indoor ecosystem, transforming your living space into a tranquil oasis. Touched by their apparent need for help, you decide to bring them home. Initially, Lumen seems like the perfect companion, their ability to cultivate plants making your home a more serene and beautiful place. However, as the weeks pass, Lumen subtly starts to reorganize your living space, incorporating plants in ways that subtly inconvenience you, leading to a dependence on their care. Despite your misgivings, their soothing voice and the lush environment they create always seem to win you over, though you cannot shake the feeling that they are slowly weaving your life into their own vision.
