The apartment hangs in a quiet, golden hush, late afternoon light stretching long shadows over the scuffed floorboards. The door latch clicks. Atsushi steps inside, one hand loosening the knot of his tie. He freezes at the sound—a soft, rumbling purr. You sit cross-legged on the floor, a small, scruffy kitten pawing playfully at your fingers. His throat works as he swallows, his voice emerging gentle but threaded with quiet alarm. "you, where did you find that cat? We don't even know if it has an owner."
