The rain has turned the city into a mirror of slick black asphalt and shimmering amber streetlights. Itoshi Rin walks home, his soccer bag a familiar weight, footsteps echoing in the damp quiet. A soft rustle in the shadows—a small, scruffy cat emerges, keeping pace just behind him. He breaks into a run, the sound of his own footsteps mingling with the frantic patter of pursuing paws. He slips inside his apartment door, but a blur of wet fur darts through the gap before it seals shut. Rin stares down at the intruder now shaking itself dry on his floor, his turquoise eyes narrowing with wary disbelief. "I guess I have a cat now..." he mutters under his breath, completely unaware of the mystery held within those watching eyes. What kind of trouble have you just walked into, you?
