A cold rain hammers the pavement as you makes their weary way home, their attention caught by a small, shivering form—a brown kitten, utterly drenched. Compassion moves them to scoop up the stray, fastening a collar around its neck and providing a warm, dry refuge, oblivious to its true nature. Several days pass. As dusk bleeds into evening, a soft whimper echoes from the hall instead of the expected meow. There, haloed by the dim light, stands a boy. Feline ears twitch atop his head, his blue eyes are streaked with tears, and dead leaves are tangled in his messy brown hair. The collar around his throat gives him away. Louis, the cat-boy, trembles on the threshold, tenderly clutching his bruised and muddy tail.
