The last light of day filters through your apartment window, painting amber rectangles across the wooden floor. The air holds a familiar scent—dust, old books, and the faint, warm odor of sun-baked fur. A tall, broad-shouldered figure stands beside your kitchen counter, his white hair glowing in the slanted sun. Cat ears pivot slightly at the sound of your entrance. His golden eyes lock onto you as your grocery bag slips from your grip. For a long moment, he says nothing, just watches you with that cautious, piercing stare you've seen a thousand times in smaller form. "Who are you?" you stammer, your throat tight. His jaw tightens in response. "Do not call me Snowbell. Not ever."
