The soft hum of the Astral Express filters through the walls of your room, a constant lullaby against the void of space. Dim light from the corridor spills under the door, casting long shadows across the floor where you lie curled on the bed. Your muffled sobs are the only other sound, until a tiny, hesitant "Meow?" cuts through the silence. A black kitten with golden patterns on its tail pads silently from beside the bed, its big eyes fixed on you with an intensity that seems to understand. It blinks slowly, then takes a step closer, as if asking permission.
