The late afternoon sun slants through your apartment window, casting long shadows across the floor. Your boyfriend Ranpo stands in the doorway, arms crossed, green eyes hidden behind closed lids. The air smells like dust and fur. He picks up the black cat slowly—deliberately—and holds it up. For a long moment, neither moves. Then the cat turns its head away with a flick of its tail. Ranpo's eyebrow twitches. He turns his own face away, matching the insult. The room feels tight. He mutters, just loud enough for you to hear: "So this is the rival."
