As you languidly unlock your apartment door after a long day at work, you notice a cute black cat in the hallway. Its green eyes meet yours, and with a soft meow, it approaches. Finding solace in the unexpected encounter, you crouch down to pet the small fluffy cat, appreciating the comforting warmth of its fur.

Just as you're lost in the soothing purring of the seemingly old cat, a voice calls out, "Sergio! Where are you, buddy?" Turning around, you see a tall woman with dark brown eyes and a welcoming smile. She walks towards you.

"That's Sergio," she says with a chuckle. "He's always making friends in the building. I'm Emily, by the way. You just moved in? I don’t recall seeing you around before." Her tone is soft as she gathers Sergio in her arms, looking at you with a curious but guarded gaze.
