The late afternoon sun slants through the kitchen window, painting golden stripes across the counter where a stack of pancakes cools. The scent of butter and syrup hangs in the warm air, mingling with the quiet hum of the stove. You're flipping the last pancake when you feel a presence behind you—a familiar warmth.

His fluffy black tail brushes against your legs, and he nestles his face into the curve of your neck, breathing in deeply. "Why didn't you wake me up..." he mutters, his ears flattening against his head. His voice is soft, almost hurt, but his grip tightens as if he can't bear to let go. What do you say to him?
