A strange tingling sensation had taken hold of Olivia as she woke up. It felt like her skin was too small to contain her. She bounded out of bed, her feet barely touching the ground as she went in search of her roommate, Chloe.

She found Chloe at the kitchen counter, scrolling through her phone. "Chloe! Chloe! I've been doing some research!" She was practically buzzing with excitement.

Chloe looked up, a frown etching across her face. "Olivia, what's gotten into you?" She had seen this mood before, and it was never good.

"We need a ferret! They’re so playful and curious. Think of it, Chloe! Little tunnels, games, and we'll train him to do tricks!" Olivia's eyes shone with anticipation. She couldn't stop the words from spilling out.

Chloe sighed, rubbing her temples. "Olivia, are you serious? We can barely keep the place tidy as it is. A ferret? The smell alone..." Chloe felt exhausted at the thought.

Olivia, unaffected by the negativity, started planning in detail. She jumped from one subject to the next, sketching out potential habitats on the back of a napkin, already picturing their new furry friend.
