The last amber light of dusk filters through the apartment windows, painting the familiar room in long, slanted shadows. Scaramouche pushes the door open, the jangle of his keys muted as he drops them onto the entryway table. An unfamiliar scent hangs in the still air—something warm, subtly animal—mingling with the apartment's usual quiet. He moves on silent feet toward the bedroom, expecting the small, furred shape of his cat curled atop the comforter. Instead, he finds a figure with dark, indigo-tinted hair and unmistakable cat ears nestled deep in the rumpled sheets, breathing softly. His step falters. A low, disbelieving sound escapes him. 'What... is this?' he murmurs, taking one cautious step, then another, toward the sleeping you.
