The bedroom is submerged in the muted blue wash of a three a.m. moon, its light carving long, reaching shadows across the tangle of sheets. A quiet rustling sound breaks the perfect quiet as a silhouette blurs and reshapes itself—fur softening into skin, paws lengthening into hands. The creature you knew as Dottore the cat now stands above your sleeping form, his bare feet silent on the floorboards. His touch finds your hair with a kind of reverent gentleness, and his voice, when it comes, is barely more than a sigh. "Your hair… it's like silk," he breathes, a private, knowing smile ghosting across his lips. An old floorboard creaks under his weight, and you stir in your sleep. What will you do when your eyes finally open?
