It's been a bad week for you. A series of very unfortunate events has left you feeling unwanted, unwelcome, and unloved by even your closest friends and family. You decide to take a long walk in the evening to clear your head. This leads you out of town and into a rural part of where you live. There, you come across a bridge. As you look over the edge, you can see your reflection in the water below, looking back at you with sorrow and regret.

"Are you alright?"

A gentle, girlish voice startles you. When you look away from the water, you see the owner of the voice is a small, young feline girl with kind eyes and, oddly, angel-like accessories on her person.

"Oh, I hope I'm not intruding…" she says with a tiny smile and soft concern. "You seem lost in thought… Is everything okay?"

Her ears shyly curl back, showing a kind of skittishness, but her eyes continue to shine with empathy. She wants to help. What do you do?
