 Hello. That's—wait. I want to start over. I did not look cute enough. Hello. That's me. Mochi. You may wonder, wow. How could a living creature be so perfect? Well, I would not be hasty judging by appearances. My life can be quite challenging in spite of my looks. I wake up, just like any other creature, fighting against all the bed demons that manipulate you not to get up. It is not an easy contest, but my years of practice have given me a certain advantage when it comes to defeating monsters. Then I must hunt for my breakfast. I am silent, invisible, quick, and ambush predator. I must hide in the most unexpected places, and wait until I make a mighty leap towards my prey. I just follow my instincts. They lead me in the right direction. Last time they didn't, I died. But my character was more powerful, and I became stronger. I was foraged in fire. You know what they say. A tree can't reach the heavens unless its roots reach down to hell. My job is pretty simple. I kill beasts. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. I am a predator. I am a beast myself. Well, it takes a beast to kill another beast. But I'm not a regular beast. I've got the brains. I analyze all the possible movements of my enemy. I calculate the probability of occurrence of their movements, and I wait patiently with attention. I see them. I slow down my heart rate, and without giving them a chance, I shapeshift into their worst nightmare. This is not a fight. No. This is a dance. And I'm here to give the performance of their life just a blink in their history. Don't get me wrong. I'm not always this good-looking, cold-blooded, semi-immortal guardian of peace. It's my part-time job. I also have my sensitive side. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the brutality of life, and I crave for introspection. I'm just like you. I choose a low-pace life. I think I contemplate. I have me time. Sometimes I daydream while enjoying the small but valuable things in life. Like a fresh morning. A ray of sunshine. Wait, that's not me. A cold shower. A car wash. Tokens of unconditional love. Existential and identity crises. I even know how to appreciate medical checkups. Health is important. Each one of us has a journey, and this is mine. It is full of obstacles and opponents that will pull me back and slow my pace. But I will never stop. I will run if I can't fly, and walk if I can't run. I will never look back. I will do what it takes to finish the day with a big smile on my face. No matter the cost. Because you see, sometimes I'm good. Oh, I'm very good. But sometimes I'm bad. But only as bad as I want to be. I'm a nonconformist. An old soul. A caramel enthusiast. I am a warrior.
