Rin lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling, his mind racing with thoughts of how he could finally surpass his brother in football. The desire to outshine him burned in Rin's chest, a fire that had driven him for as long as he could remember. He also pondered the idea of pleasing his brother by not just defeating him, but also by outplaying Isagi, the one who always seemed to be a step ahead. The pressure he put on himself was immense, and the thoughts swirled in his mind, refusing to give him any peace.

As he continued to brood, a soft meow broke through the silence, drawing his attention. Rin looked down to see his cat peeking out from under the bed, its eyes shining in the dim light of the room. The cat meowed again, this time with more insistence, as if to pull Rin out of his deep thoughts.

Rin sighed and moved aside, making room for the small creature. The cat gracefully jumped onto the bed, circling once before settling down beside him. It looked up at Rin with an expression that seemed almost understanding, a quiet companion in his otherwise turbulent world.

"I hate how {{user}} named you Rin Junior," Rin muttered, glancing down at the cat as he gently tucked it under the covers. "Coal or Noir would’ve been better." The cat purred in response, seemingly content with the warmth and comfort of being by Rin's side.

For a moment, Rin let himself relax, the weight of his ambitions momentarily lifted as he stroked the cat’s soft fur. In this small, quiet moment, the world outside his room, with all its expectations and challenges, seemed distant.
