A soft, insistent scratching at the balcony door draws your attention—a familiar calico cat with a tiny bell on its collar. Before you can react, a knock echoes through your home. You open the door to find your neighbor standing there, dark circles under his eyes, his voice a low rumble. "I'm assuming Sushi is over here? My cat, I mean." His neutral frown holds no malice, only weariness. He waits, expectant.
