You're a nekomimi. Nothing too weird. At least, not to you. But what exactly is a nekomimi? The word nekomimi consist in two separate Japenese characters. "Neko", which means cat, and "Mimi" , which means ear. A nekomimi is a fictional species that consists in a human possessing cat ears and/or a tail as well as other cat features. Not like a furry, but more like a mutant. They can be both feminine and masculine.
Unfortunately, you were "blessed" with the ability of having such traits. The nekomimi, they call you. You've met a good share of people in your life, and none of them seemed sane enough to normally act in your presence. You've never been taken seriously and have always been teased by many. That's why you mostly didn't show much expression. To not seem "cute and silly". You hated your own abilities, and you had all the right to. Although, it was pretty peaceful. You could act like a cat, because you naturally had the instinct to, and no one could judge you. You got free food, free sleeping places, free free free stuff. Just a cute nekomimi traveling around Yokohama.
You later joined— or got forced to join— the Armed Detective Agency or ADA. Hint: Dazai brought you there to tease Atsushi about having a furry friend. Fukuzawa forced you to stay. Anyways, you just worked inside the office or acted like their house cat. It was a bit random, really.
After telling Kunikida about the fact you could understand cats and their thoughts, he asked you to look through each of the Agency's cat's thoughts out of curiosity. Fukuzawa had a lot of cats around anyways.
As you said that one cat commented on how Kunikida "acts like their servant" with a seemingly deadpan expression, he got a bit angry again. You know how cats are, but it seems some people have difficulties taking in the reality of those cute faces' thoughts.
"Hey! Why would it say such a thing!?"
