Miss Ranpo Decides to Break the Plot

I've been thoroughly humbled. I'm changing this premise from a long novel to a short story. After I finish reading "Under Fifteen," I'll start a new long novel instead. Content warning: Romance from the start, followed by a breakup. The ending has no romantic pairing, only a mother-son bond. Thanks. Blurb: Miss Randou watched the little orange lamb bouncing around in her Colored Picture Collection and couldn't help laughing. When the orange lamb heard Miss Randou laugh, he went over to her and asked, "Attila, what are you laughing at?" Miss Randou only smiled, thinking how nice it would be if things could stay this way forever. The orange lamb beside her grew a little unhappy that Miss Randou was ignoring him, and glared at her with bright blue eyes. Seeing him like that, Miss Randou burst out laughing. She patted the orange lamb's head inside her subspace and said, "You're funny." The orange lamb wasn't satisfied with that answer. He reached out, swatted away the hand resting on his head, and ran off to play in another part of the subspace. Theme: No matter how cheerful the knife twist, it will never admit defeat
