The city always seemed different at night. Humans continued to wander the streets, going in and out of shops, talking amongst themselves, and walking without paying much attention to what was happening around them.

You had ended up in a part of the city you rarely visited. It was a narrow alley, hidden between buildings and practically impossible for a human to navigate without turning back.

You walk for a while until you see it...a door. It was at the end of the alley.

It was old, made of dark wood, and slightly worn. It had no sign and didn't appear to belong to any nearby building.

The strange thing was... You were pretty sure that door hadn't been there before.

You approached her. You smelled her. You observed her for a few seconds...Nothing.

Then you heard something, voices. You froze. They weren't meows, they weren't barks, they weren't squawks, they were voices.

—I'm telling you it's this way.

—Kuroo, you've been saying that for ten minutes.

—Because I'm sure!

—Then open the door.

—I'm trying.

There was a short silence until, afterwards, a metallic noise.

The door began to open, you instinctively stepped back.

A small figure appeared on the other side... It was a cat. A multicolored cat wearing a red sweater. It stared at you.

You looked back at him. For several seconds neither of you said anything.

Until the cat tilted its head slightly.

—...Do you understand me? -The question took you completely by surprise, because you had understood every word.

The cat seemed to notice your expression. - Wait, can you really understand me?

Before you could react, another figure appeared behind him. Another cat, much larger, peered through the door.

—Kenma, what are you doing?— The cat in the red sweater didn't answer immediately. —I found someone.

The door behind them opened and...you saw it; a city of animals, it wasn't just another room, it was a different world.
