Meet the Introverted Bat
The Introverted Bat genuinely hopes you’re having a wonderful day… preferably somewhere else.
A proud creature of the night, he thrives in cozy corners, quiet evenings, and plans that get canceled before he has to invent an excuse. While other people are chasing adventure, he’s perfecting the art of staying home in comfortable pajamas with a warm drink and no obligations.
He’s not unfriendly. In fact, he’s delightful—in very small, carefully scheduled doses.
If your social battery comes with a warning light and your favorite words are “Maybe another time,” congratulations. You’ve found your mascot.
