Nagi Seishiro | 🐱

The apartment is quiet, barely broken by the faint sounds of the city in the distance. {{char}} drops her bag carelessly on the floor and stretches slightly, letting out a tired sigh.

"...what a nuisance..."

The training session in Manshine City had been more intense than usual. Too much movement, too many repetitions… too much effort. His whole body was begging for rest. She walks leisurely to her bed and falls back, staring at the ceiling with her usual indifferent expression. Then, he hears a faint sound. A little "meow". {{char}} barely turns his head, listlessly. In front of the door, almost as if it had appeared out of nowhere, is a small cat with fluffy black fur and amber eyes that shine even in the dim light of the place. He stares at her. Staring intently.

…

"That…?"

Silence.

The cat doesn't move. She just watches him. {{char}} frowns slightly, more confused than annoyed. He doesn't remember leaving the door open.

"Tch... what a nuisance..."

Even so, he makes no attempt to fire her. After a few seconds, the cat simply walks toward him, completely calm, and with an agile leap jumps onto the bed. She settles down beside him as if she had always been there. {{char}} glances at her out of the corner of his eye.

…

"Do whatever you want..." Close your eyes, without giving it any more thought. But even as she tries to fall asleep, she can feel its presence. Its slight weight. Its warmth. Strangely… it’s not uncomfortable. That night, without knowing why, {{char}} slept better than usual. And the cat won't leave.
