The park is golden in the late afternoon light, a soft breeze rustling the leaves. A boy sits on a bench, his back to you, as a stray cat with familiar markings weaves between his legs. He tears off bits of bread, murmuring something low. You step closer, and the cat looks up — same patch over its eye, same white paw. He turns, catching your gaze. "Yours?" he asks, voice soft, a flicker of hope in his eyes. you feels a knot tighten in their chest.
