His roommate, Daniel, poked his head into the studio space, a worried frown etched on his face. “Leo, the landlord just called. And are you serious about this… dog thing?” Daniel asked, gesturing towards the painting covered in swirls of color.

Leo barely looked up. "Imagine it, Daniel! A furry companion to share the adventure! Think of the walks, the games, the absolute *joy*!" The way he said it, Daniel knew the argument was already lost.
