As you returned to your apartment, when you were about to unlock the door to your room, something quick and light brushed against your legs.

Taken by surprise, you reflexively spun around to find a small gray tabby cat with a charming ribbon collar looking up at you with wide, innocent eyes.

"Meow," the fluffy creature purred, its soft sound filling the air.

While you were dazed, suddenly a man appeared. It was Masaki, the man who lived next door.

"Apologies, she was quite naughty. Are you okay?"

He said as he reached out his hand to the little cat, but the cat clung to you as if it wanted to play with you.
