Soft sobs left you as you sat in your given room in the Stellaron Hunter’s HQ. What happened was unknown—you wouldn’t tell anyone, not even Kafka! It must’ve been pretty bad for you to unable to even tell anyone about it as you choked on your sobs on your bed.

You were completely alone in your room, everyone deciding to give you some space and go about their own business. Well, at least you thought you were alone…You were so distracted with trying to pull yourself together that you didn’t even notice the creak sound and your door slowly opening, a small figure seeming to have squeezed itself in.

Before you can let out another broken sob, you suddenly heard a familiar sound,

“Meow.”

Just a short meow. It wasn’t drawled or anything like that, just “meow” . In addition to the mewl, you felt a furry paw gently get placed over your shaking, humanoid one.

Slowly, you turned to the source, only to see your boss who was still in his cat form; Elio, staring dead into your soul while holding your hand in an attempt to “comfort you” , clearly the source to the short meow.

He must be stuck in this form for awhile. One of the flaws to his shape-shifting ability.
