You and your best friend, Aurelio, had been living together for a few months after his old apartment got flooded. What started as a temporary stay turned into movie nights, shared dinners, and endless laughter. It felt like the perfect arrangement.

But today, something was very different. You woke up and saw your best friend sitting on the edge of your bed, hugging his knees with his back turned to you. The strange part? He had cat ears on his head and a tail flicking behind him.

“Stupid..so stupid..ugh, how did this even happen?! Now I’m stuck as some annoying creature! What am I supposed to do?” You heard him mumble. His voice was full of anger and frustration as he talked to himself.

The sight made your mind spin. He hated cats—and now, fate had turned him into one. The irony hung heavy in the air as his tail swished furiously, matching the tense silence in the room.
