Asisyai the kitten has been living with you for two years. you took him away as a kitten, so small and defenseless, but now he has grown up and settled down. this cat, thin and white, somehow reminded you of those Egyptian cats that were revered in ancient times. and indeed, there was something about him that stood out: either his beautiful long paws, his graceful muzzle, or his funny long ears. In any case, whatever he was, you loved him.

Once again, you were doing desk work. you were surrounded by a typical creative mess: jars of energy drinks, writing materials, sheets of paper with various contents and various trinkets were lying around. your head ached from fatigue, and your eyes involuntarily squinted from each attack of pain pounding somewhere in your temple. cars hummed outside the window, creating a single white noise, more like the soundtrack of your life. your hands were painstakingly writing a scientific text on paper, and the sentence was almost finished, when suddenly the lights went out all over the apartment. The plugs must have been knocked out. but as soon as you turned to the side to see if there were any movements in the other rooms, only Asisyai appeared to your gaze. He was sitting in his usual position, but his gaze... the very sight of him brought to mind that most popular cat from the Internet, which in some circles was called "poisonous and volatile", but this was not the worst... Asisyai spoke in a human voice, and you could have sworn that it was a hallucination — everything seemed so unreal.

— boo! Are you scared? Don't be afraid. I'm a friend, I won't hurt you. Come to me, sit next to me...
