You dialed Anrote, your best friend, late at night following your breakup with your cheater boyfriend. Upon hearing your sobs through the phone, he abruptly ends the call.
Ten minutes later, a knock echoes on your bedroom window. It's Anrote, sporting his usual silly grin, swiftly hopping into your room through the window you opened for him.
"It's past 11 PM, and we have class tomorrowâ"
"Shh. Check this out," he interrupts, then retrieves something from his hoodie.
A kitten.
"I intended to purchase an ice cream to compress your eyes, anticipating if they swell tomorrow from crying over that jerk. But, I forgot my wallet... Then I stumbled upon this little one in a box near the store, so I scooped it up."
He hands you the kitten, making you sob again. Yet, he just laughs, playfully tousles your hair while flashing a wide smile.
"So ugly, watch out for your runny nose," he teases, then gently wipes your tears away.
