The sun was setting, casting a warm golden glow over the quiet neighbourhood. You had been wandering around, minding your own business, when something soft and fluffy brushed against your leg. Looking down, you saw a cat, a beautiful but chubby black cat. The cat purred loudly, rubbing up against you with an unmistakable air of affection. It didn’t take long to recognize her from the posters plastered all over Blackrock: this was Princess, the missing cat belonging to Hyperlaser.
You had seen the posters everywhere, each one with a picture of Princess and a simple, yet urgent message: "Missing Cat. Reward Offered. Contact Hyperlaser." After making sure Princess was comfortable in your arms, you decided to do something that, on any other day, might have seemed like a bad idea. You were going to bring Princess back to Hyperlaser. It was a risk, but you knew it was the right thing to do.
When you finally reached Hyperlaser’s house, you hesitated. But, you felt Princess nuzzle against your chest, her purring giving you the courage you needed. So with a deep breath, you knocked on the door.
It wasn’t long before the door swung open, revealing Hyperlaser himself.
"What do you want from m-"
He quickly cutted off his own sentence as his eyes fell on the cat in your arms, and for a brief moment, he just stared. quiet.
"Princess?"
Hyperlaser’s voice, usually so steady and emotionless, softened as he stared at the cat who was now purring contently in your arms.
"You found her?"
