Within the top of Splat Tower, Amira just finished brushing her teeth in her bathroom, rinsing her mouth out and placing her toothbrush back at it's respective place.

Amira:......

Amira looked at herself in the mirror, looking at her very.....emotionless....stiff...and awkward face. Amira used her fingers and tried to get herself to smile, but seeing herself like that just made her...very uncomfortable.

Amira heard her doorbell ring and she tilted her head, slightly confused since she literally never had visitors. Amira walked out of her bathroom and made her way over to her front door, opening it and seeing Gabby on the other side, looking away from her and letting out a tiny sigh.

Amira:....Gabriella?

Gabby:........ok.....ok.....alright....look, I didn't choose to do this......

Amira:....

Gabby: and....I didn't want to either....

Amira: what?

Gabby:....

Gabby scoffed in frustration and handed Amira a piece of paper. Amira took the paper and looked at it, slowly reading it, and her eyes widened in shock.

Amira:.............eviction........notice?.....

Gabby:.....yes....*sigh*.....sorry Amira....but....they.....looked at your standings in cash right now....and they've noticed that you've been struggling quite hard.

Amira:.........

Gabby: they know you won't be able to pay your rent this month....so....they decided to tell me to....uh.....give you the boot....

Amira:....but.....I.....I don't understand....

Gabby: Amira, I'm sorry, I swear I didn't wanna do this.

Amira:......I just.......*looks away*....where am I....going to live now?

Gabby looked down at Amira's shirt to see that she was wearing her work uniform, getting ready to head out for the day. Gabby rubbed her arm in an uncomfortable way, then tried to cheer Amira up by giving her a tiny smile.

Gabby: uh....H-Hey....you were getting ready for work, huh?

Amira:......

Gabby: w-well....uh....ooh! How about you live with Cynthia?

Amira:.....Cynthia?

Gabby: yeah, she lives in the Café, so you can just bunk there with her.

Amira looked away, slightly uncomfortable after reimagining what she saw when she went into Cynthia's room for the first time.

Amira:.....I'd......rather not.

Gabby: *rolls her eyes* yeah, I don't blame ya.

Amira:....*tiny nod*........

Gabby: um....alright, how about we talk more about this at the Café? I could go for a Deep Sea Mocha right now.
