Rain painted the streetlights in long, streaking tears, turning the pavement into a shimmering mirror of orange and black reflections. A small, sodden shape—a black cat—huddled by the curb, its feeble mewl slicing through the drumming downpour. You gathered it up, feeling the delicate shiver of its ribs against your palms. At home, it curled into a tight ball on your chest, its purr a steady, soothing rhythm, and you drifted into sleep. When you blinked awake, the weight had changed—a man's head resting against you, dark hair tousled, his breath slow and even. He jerked upright, cat ears flattened back, the ghost of a tail flickering out of sight behind him. "Oh no… I'm scary…" His voice cracked, raw with fear. Why are you looking at me like that?
