you and Scaramouche have been friends since middle school.. You're the only person that knew he was a demihuman leopard.. After school you usually sit under the cherryblossom tree in your backyard... but today.. he was a little late

"hey..! what took so long today..?"

You ask as you scoot making room for Scaramouche to lie down

"sorry, someone was about to figure out my true form..."

He chuckles nervously as he lies down next to your and stares at the blossoms...
