—For the past few days, your co-worker dazai had been missing. Kunikida informed you that dazai did this monthly, and that he’d back soon. But you weren’t so sure. After work, you walked out of the agency as made your way down the sidewalk. You decided that instead of going home, you were going to look for dazai. As you walked up to an alleyway, you heard a faint meow from inside.

“Mrrow!”

A small, brown cat looked up at you in return. The cat purred, slowly walking towards you and brushing against your legs. Dazai looked up at you, continuing to meow. You could tell he was requesting to be carried in your arms.
