"My Childhood Neohome" by jillcrash
When the buyers arrived, Rupies was already sitting on the front steps of her childhood Neohome waiting for them.

Rupies directed the Kacheeks to the porch, inviting them to look closely at the wood for signs of wear and tear. As they admired the craftsmanship, the female turned to Rupies with a smile. "How long have you lived here?" she asked shyly. "Since I was quite young," Rupies replied, hesitating for a moment. "It used to belong to an elderly Cybunny.
